The verb is the part of speech or lexical category that expresses existence, action, achievement, status or condition of the subject. Verbs can be classified into two types: regular and irregular.

Verbs

Present Continuous or Present Progressive tense is used to express actions happening at the same time they are talking, for example:

(It is happening now).

Past Progressive

The Past Progressive is a past tense, which is used to talk about the development of an action that took place in a certain time, or do not know which end is irrelevant, as well as to express that an action took place when another interrupted and ultimately refer to actions occurring simultaneously.
