Answer: What do you think the jury <u>is learning</u> from the testimony of that witness?
Explanation: The verb phrase "is learning" is present participle because the regular verb ends in <em>ing</em>. It is used with the auxilliary verb 'to be' to form the continuous tense. The present participle can be used either as a verb or an adjective. Anything that ends with -<em>ing</em> is considered present participle.
