Appropriate use/Seat-Sit

Appropriate use/Seat-Sit
Message from abhay posted on 30-04-2015 at 11:24:39 (D | E | F)
Hi
I would like to know appropriate use of Verbs Seat and Sit..
I came across the sentence "I am seating at client site" to me it is wrong, it should be "I am sitting at client site". Am I right?
I was under impression that Seat is only noun, but it is verb as well, so now got confused  which is to be used at what situations.
Please clarify my doubt.
Thanks and Regards

Hello

You can say:
I am seated at the client site.
I am sitting at the client site. (MORE COMMON)
You cannot say: I am seating...
seating is a noun, it is NOT the '-ing' form of the verb 'to seat'.
