Present Participle

 The present participle is formed by adding the suffix "-ing" to the base form of a verb.

• go — going
• make — making
• see — seeing

Although the form is the same as that of a gerund, the usage differs — the present participle is not used as a noun. Rather, it is a verb in the continuous form.

• I am looking for a good hotel in Berlin.
• John has been trying to contact you for a week.
