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.
