John Aki~~$100 is owing to you as I believed.~~

No. Say I think you are owed $100.

Some verbs are not allowed in continuous tenses. 'owe' is one of them. That means we do not use "is owing", "are owing", "was owing", and so on.

John AkiI ~~graduated~~/began to feel uncomfortable ~~with~~ because of my back pain.
what are the differences between graduate/began to

The verb 'graduate' has nothing to do with the verb 'begin'. They are completely unrelated. I can't imagine where you got that from.

Have you learned the tenses of English yet? If not, I think it's time you do.

For one person. (He, She, The man, The boy, The woman, The girl, etc.)

Present: jumps / Past: jumped
Present continuous: is jumping / Past continuous: was jumping

For more than one person. (They, The men, The boys, The women, The girls, etc.)

Present: jump / Past: jumped
Present continuous: are jumping / Past continuous: were jumping

Some verbs are never (or almost never) used in continuous tenses (also called progressive tenses).

Here is a list of some common verbs which are not often used in progressive forms.

believe, doubt, feel, imagine, know, dislike, love, hate, prefer, realize, recognize, remember, see, suppose, think, understand, want, wish, appear, hear, look, see, seem, smell, sound, taste, agree, deny, astonish, disagree, impress, mean, please, promise, satisfy, surprise, belong, concern, consist, depend, fit, involve, lack, matter, need, owe, own, possess
