Hello. Unfortunately it is not possible to have access to the unit that the question refers to, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
Cognates are words from different languages that have the same origin and therefore can present the same spelling or similar spelling. It is common for cognates to have the same meaning as well, but there are false cognates, which are extremely similar words that have different meanings.
An example of cognates between English and Spanish are the words "family" and "familia."
Answer:
To express a continuing or ongoing present action in Spanish you will follow this pattern for most regular verbs:
First of all you will need estar in El Presente:
yo estoy
tú estás
él / ella / Ud. está
nosotros/nosotras
estamos
vosotros /vosotras
estáis
ellos / ellas / Uds. están
And then:
Estar in El Presente + -ando (-AR verbs)
-iendo (-ER and -IR verbs)
hablar → habl- = hablando
correr → corr- = corriendo
