you mean ING?

VERB+ING..

*The -ing form is used when the word is the subject of a sentence or clause like "Reading is my favorite hobby. "

* ING form is used after the preposition. like "I look forward to meeting you" (preposition "TO")

*It is usually use after a certain verb like avoid, dislike, enjoy, finish, give up, mind/not mind, practice. Example:" I enjoy watching television at night."

It is also possible to say "I am looking good!"

It's a Present Continuous form of a verb.. Meaning the action is ongoing...

It can also be a noun for example:
I love traveling.
My hobby is swimming.
Reading makes me calm.
The ING-form in all these sentences are objects of the verbs.

Hi Mike.
The two basic reasons for 'ing' are to make a verb progressive or simply a noun.

Progressive verb: I am watching a movie.

Noun: I always do the cooking at my house.

ING - is used to state what you are DOING at the moment.

Examples: I am standing right here.
We are working really hard.
We are studing for the test.
He is trying.
And so on....
