What type of word is going in the sentence I am going?

The word that goes in the sentence "I am going" is an adverb.

Here's why:

* "Going" is the present participle of the verb "to go," but in this sentence, it acts as an adjective modifying the pronoun "I."

* "Going" tells us what the speaker is doing (in motion), which functions as an adverbial element.

So, the sentence can be rewritten as: "I am going (in a state of movement)."
