Every sentence must begin with a capital letter. The word "I" must always be capitalised, wherever it appears. " I 'm putting something on the table" is correct English.

Every word has an "ing" form, but it should not be confused with the fact that "state verbs" cannot be used in continuous tenses.
"want", "own", "mind" are state verbs to name a few.

Yeah, good point. (In colloquial English, "cannot" may have to be relaxed in one or two cases.)

Technically, it's that verbs used with stative meaning can't be in the continuous, but that gets pretty confusing for learners of English, so your explanation

But "I have a party every year on my birthday" is okay.
