The te-form of action verb + "imasu (iru)"


If the verb indicates an action that can continue once started "to be -ing", such as "tabemasu" or "hanashimasu", it has the meaning above. Thus, "tabeteiru"=I am eating.


Other verbs of this kind are "nomimasu, arukimasu, hashirimasu, utaimasu, oyogimasu, kakimasu, mimasu, tsukaimasu, tsukurimasu, yasumimasu, benkyoushimasu, aimasu".
