Hello Cyco94,

"La mujer come"
The verb comer here is in the third singular present tense "come".
It means "The woman eats." It refers to a present action or a habit .

" La mujer esta comiendo"
Here "esta comiendo " is formed by verb "estar" + Gerund (comiendo) and it is equivalent to the present continuous tense in English. It is like saying :
"The woman is eating"
It refers here to a continuous action *eating* in the present .

Cherry explains it very well. I only wish to add that the third person form of estar needs an accent over the "a" to be correct in this sentence.

" La mujer esta comiendo" - The woman this eating*
" La mujer está comiendo" - The woman is eating

Lycka till med spanskan!
