Keep in mind that the verb 'to be' is also used as an auxiliary verb in the continuous tense group. In this case, it is used even if there is a main verb in the sentence that indicates the action. This is the formula for forming the continuous tenses, which must be memorized: to be + verb + -ing ending. The combination of to be + verb does not occur: ~~I am do, he is read, they are work~~.
