Which two terms are used to describe the events of a play?

Before the climax in a work of fiction, the author often provides some exposition. This typically amounts to the introduction of background information about the characters or setting: information that we, the reader, need in order to more fully understand what is going on in the text. Think of it as having the same root as the word "expose"—to make something visible—this is what exposition does. It provides information we might not otherwise learn through the text so that we can better understand the text. There is also, often, some inciting incident, an event or happening that initiates the protagonist's most significant conflict in the work: either the protagonist vs. him/herself, the protagonist vs. nature, the protagonist vs. society, or the protagonist vs. another character. This exposition and the inciting incident usually precede the rising action, which is constituted by the development of the conflict, whichever of the four I have outlined above.

Explanation:

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

the speaker sometimes   uses it   to express that an action is repeated and it causes irritation on the part of the speaker

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.
