jìnxíng tài
Progressive aspect (进行态)
To say an action is happening right now, put 在 or 正在 before the verb. Adding 呢 at the end makes it feel more natural in speech. Think of it as the Chinese '-ing' — but placed before the verb, not after.
Anchor example

Mom, don't come in! I'm changing clothes right now!
