Structure:

Every tense or every structure has Structure because Structure is very important for making a sentence with the help of Structure you can make a correct sentence. In this Structure the first one is (SUBJECT) (Subject the action performer the person or people who performs the action) And The second one is (VERB) (Verb is an Action that work which shows Action). And the 3rd one is (OBJECT) (Object is that the one that is being worked on).

Subject + Is/Am/Are + Verb ((ing) Form) + Object.               (Positive)

Subject + Is/Am/Are + not + Verb ((ing) form) + Object.     (Negative)

Is/Am/Are + Subject + Verb ((ing) Form) + Object?         (Interrogative)

 Is/Am/Are: 

Is/Am/Are is the helping verbs of present continuous It will be helpful for you to make positive, Negative and Interrogative sentences. Now the question is that where we use (Is) where(Am) and where(Are).

Is: Is we use when we talk about 3rd person singular. (3rd person is the one that is being talked about) When 2 persons talk about somebody else so that person is 3rd person.LIKE: He, She, It, or any name.

Am: Am we use. When we talk about first person (1st person is the one who is speaking).LIKE: (I) because only I can be the first person.

Are: Are we use when we talk about 3rd person plural or  (2nd person is the one with whom we are talking) when two persons talk about more than one person so that is 3rd person plural.LIKE: (They).

Is = He, She, It

Am = I
