In the given sentences, the finite verbs are used to convey tense, number, and agreement with the subject. Gerunds are used as subjects or objects of a sentence.

What is progressive tenses?
Progressive tense (also known as continuous tense) is a verb form that indicates that an action is ongoing, continuing, or in progress at a particular time. It is formed by using a form of "to be" (am, is, are, was, were) with the present participle (verb + -ing).
Finite verbs (FV) are those verbs that are used in a sentence to show agreement with the subject in terms of tense, number, and person. Gerunds (G) are verbs that function as nouns and end in "-ing." Infinitives (I) are verbs that are formed with "to" and can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. Present participles (PrP) are verbs that end in "-ing" and are used to form the progressive tenses, as well as adjectives and adverbs.
