Present Continuous

The question is...

What are you doing?

NOW AT THE MOMENT

We use the present continuous to describe something that is happening at this moment. We use the verb "to be" plus the gerund.The gerund is usually formed by adding "ing" to the verb. We use the present continuous or progressive to talk about things we are doing now, at the moment.
