What is a continuous verb?

The term "continuous verb" isn't a standard grammatical term. There's no verb type called a "continuous verb."

You might be thinking of the continuous tense, also known as the progressive tense. This tense describes an action that is happening at a particular moment in time.

Here's how it works:

* Form: It's formed by using the present participle of a verb (usually ending in -ing) and combining it with a form of the auxiliary verb "be."

* Examples:

* Present Continuous: I am eating.

* Past Continuous: She was playing.

* Future Continuous: They will be running.

Important Note: The continuous tense doesn't describe a verb, but rather a tense of a verb.
