Sir,

I am loving my mummy.

Is it correct?

Please provide me a sentence in which, "loving" has been used in continuous tense.

He is looking sad.

is this correct?

Thanks.

I love my mummy.

McDonalds are using the slogan 'I'm lovin' it' in their current advertising campaign; whether this refers to their burgers or life itself I'm not too sure.

'I am loving' is not used as often as 'I love' and I think it would only be used in contexts where the emotion you feel lasts for that fleeting moment and is more a great delight in something, not a continual genuine love.

'He is loving all that attention'.

'I am loving this massage'
