I have two statements:
1. He is drinking.
2. She is cold.
I'm sure the first statement is the Present Continous tense.
He - Subject
is - The verb be in the present tense
drink + ing = The main verb + ing
But I'm not sure about the second statement. What tense is the second statement? Is it Present Continous too? I ask it, because the second statement doesn't contain the word "ing" after the verb. But as far as I know the Simple Present do not use the verb be at all. I suppose it's a kind of Present Continous. Isn't it?
I'm learning English and would love to understand the difference between the two.
