Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use the correct auxiliary verb (am, is, was, were) with the present participle when describing an ongoing action. For example, use "I am viewing" instead of "I viewing".
Common error
Avoid omitting auxiliary verbs like "am", "is", or "was" when using the present participle (viewing, watching, etc.). This omission creates grammatically incorrect sentences.
