Use "to be" to show equality.
The cat is green. (Cat = green)
The man is bald. (Man = bald)
I am learning. (I = learning)
Use "to be" with "-ing".
I am typing
She is talking.
We are walking.
Here are some charts that may prove to be of further help. You may reproduce them for teaching purposes according to their copyrights.
