Объяснение правила

Время Present Continuous образуется по формуле:

am / is / are + глагол с окончанием -ing

• Am — с местоимением I.

• Is — с he, she, it и существительными в единственном числе.

• Are — с you, we, they и существительными во множественном числе.

Обрати внимание на написание глаголов: lie → lying (буквы ie заменяются на y), sit → sitting (удваивается t).

Present Continuous используется здесь для описания действий, происходящих на картине.
