progressive tense
Progressive tense is a verb tense used to express an ongoing action that is currently happening, was happening in the past, or will be happening in the future. It is formed by combining a form of the "to be" verb with the present participle (verb ending in -ing) of the main verb. For example, "I am running" is in the present progressive tense, "I was running" is in the past progressive tense, and "I will be running" is in the future progressive tense.
