more examples of this please

Hi,

I think I saw a sentence at some reference source that had what seem to be a verb pattern of 'is + (X+ing)' and it noted that what is in parentheses is not a participle but an adjective.

Can you give me few examples of that? Sorry for not being able to provide something concrete.

is Xing -- the 'Xing' is not a participle but an adjective.
