ている③ (Has/have done)

Has/have done, Is ~ing (Repetition)

JLPT N5
Pattern

Verb (て-form) + いる (habit)

How it works

ている can describe a repeated or habitual action, not just one happening now: まいにち あるいて 行っています (I walk there every day). The context, often a frequency word, shows this meaning.

Examples

  • 会社へは 何で 行って いますか。How do you (usually) get to work?
  • まいあさ ジョギングを して います。I go jogging every morning.
