Verb forms

I've been asked to identify the tense and verb forms that appear in some short sentences. For example;

'I'm playing football with Adam next week'. - So the tense is present progressive - but what what do they want for verb form? Active/passive? Which person it's spoken in (first person singular)? Or something else?

Please could someone help me?

Anonymous but what what do they want for verb form? Who knows? Maybe they want you to say 'm is a contraction for am and that it's an auxiliary verb.

Possibly they want to know that the present progressive is formed with the present tense of BE and the -ing form (present participle) of the verb concerned.
