Question about Japanese
How do you use 〜ている. I know it means that your doing a continuing action and that it can express a change that happened in the past but I've seen some pretty strange sentences that don't really make sense.... Sorry. I can't come up with any examples right now....

I'm sorry I can't fully fathom out where your question lies in without any sample sentences, but here are some examples for 〜ている:
１）(present perfect)
彼はあさからずっとべんきょうしている。
He's been studying since this morning.
2)(future)
君がもどってくるまでずっとまっているから。
I'll wait for you until you come back.
3)(present progressive)
I'm always thinking about you.
君のこといつも考えている。
