-ing form

We can find a nice present perfect continuous in nursery rhymes:
Goldilocks And The Three Bears (39) - YouTube
someone's been eating my porridge - Google Search

And we can find at the very beginning of this children's classic, a nice past perfect continuous:
The Wind in the Willows . Episode 1, The River Bank - YouTube
Full text of "The wind in the willows"

We can find the 'reduced relative clause' or 'present participle clause' in nursery rhymes:
Revolting Rhymes_ Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf.mp4 - YouTube
roald dahl little red riding hood - Google Search
Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf... Roald Dahl

And in American English - some real English:

Some more American English: How often can you hear the -ing form in the first couple of examples?
