Hola kbleu!

I think you should use present progressive. This link will help you, it explains the theory. Generally, you can form the Present Progressive by using the verb estar + present participle.

To form the present participle of regular -ar verbs, add -ando to the stem of the verb. To form the present participle of regular -er and -ir verbs, add -iendo to the stem of the verb.

Present Progressive

Now let's have a look at your exercise:

Ana está busca (buscar) un apartamento en el centro de la ciudad.

I would say: Ana está buscando un apartamento en el centro de la ciudad.

Vamos a ver a mis primos que están comen (comer) en el café de la esquina.

I would say: Vamos a ver a mis primos que están comiendo en el café de la esquina.

I'm sure you can finish your exercise now.
