Grammar Focus:
When used with verbs that express pitting on or taking off something, such as 입다 (to wear clothes) 신다 (to wear shoes/socks), 쓰다 (to wear a hat/glasses), 끼다 (to wear a ring/gloves), and 벗다 (to take off). -고 있다 means the result of the action has continued in that state until the present.
It corresponds to ‘is -ing’ in English. The same meaning can also be expressed by using the past tense form -았/었어요 to indicate a state of completed action.
• 치마를 입고 있어요. = 치마를 입었어요. I’m wearing a skirt.
