2nd conjugation (ER) and 3rd conjugation (IR) verbs both form the regular verb gerundio by removing the ER or IR from the infinitive and replacing it with iendo.
comer=comiendo
vivir=viviendo
ER & IR verbs-
Drop ER/IR and add IENDO:
comer> comiendo, escribir>escribiendo, etc.
However, there are many irregular verbs and stem changing verb rules for forming the gerundio.
The present progressive tense is formed by using the present tense of Estar + the gerundio. Other verbs of motion like seguir, continuar, andar, salir, venir are used with the gerundio to form adverbial phrases.
