PRESENT PARTICIPLE + ADJECTIVE
Hello,
I am a little unsure about the function of the word proving in the sentence given below:
It is a possible solution which is proving successful.
(This was written by a newcomer I volunteer with)
I know that this could be written another way, but in this sentence, I am wondering if is proving is a continuous tense form and successful is its object?
Thank you for your help.
