Se utiliza con el verbo to be conjugado y el otro verbo que lo acompaña añade a su infinitivo (sin el to) la terminación -ing.
En pasado se utiliza también conjugando el verbo to be en pasado.
Examples:
That people are dancing. Esa gente está bailando.
I think my boyfriend is working.
I am wearing a red skirt. Llevo puesta una camiseta roja.
John is probably getting up. John está probablemente levantándose.

Dear Karina,
My name's Dalibor and I'm from Slovenia. I was born in Dobrova, a small town near Ljubljana in Slovenia but we live in Ljubljana now. I live with my parents, my grandmother and my brother and sister. My brother's at school and my sister works for IBM. My father's got a small company wich exports glass. My mother's a housewife, but she often helps at my father's company too when they're very bussy.
I'm twenty'two and I'm single. I'm studying Technology. I'm in my third year at university. I have classes every morning from 9 to 1.30 and then I have lunch. In the afternoon, I usually study in the library. When I finish my university course I'm going to try and get a job as an engineer in an international company. That's why I need to learn English.
In my free time I like playing sport. At weekends I play basketball for the university team. I also like travelling very much.
Last summer I went on holiday to Bulgaria. I went with Iva, my girlfriend, and we stayed in a youth hostel near Sofia. The weather was great so we went walking in the mountains nearly every day. It was fantastic. Have you ever been there?
Please write soon and send a photo.
Best wishes,
Dalibor.
