I know that it is tedious, but you can look up the gerundio of the verb in the conjugation utility, but you are better off learning the rules for forming, at least, the regular present participles. Most of the ones in your exercise appear to be fairly regular compared to verbs like leer (leyendo), etc.

Spanish gerundio (present participle)

By the way, you do not have all of the Estar parts of the continuous tense correct.
