How does the setting of boarding school impact Ned?

Ned defies his teachers by speaking Navajo when he is alone with other students. He learns and teaches Navajo songs and stories, which he shares in private when the teachers can't hear. He finds that boarding school makes him even more determined to hold onto his language and his culture.

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

the speaker sometimes   uses it   to express that an action is repeated and it causes irritation on the part of the speaker

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.
