The Continuous Action
'Recibiendo' is the 'doing' form of 'recibir.' It is always used with the verb 'estar' (to be) to show an action is ongoing: 'Estoy recibiendo' (I am receiving).
Making it Continuous
For verbs ending in -IR or -ER, the continuous form ends in -IENDO. Since 'recibir' ends in -IR, it follows this easy pattern.
Forgetting 'Estar'
Mistake: “Yo recibiendo el correo.”
Correction: Yo estoy recibiendo el correo. Remember, you need a form of 'estar' to hold the continuous action together.
