Hala is correct. For a continuous action you need, the correct form of "to-be" (is, was, will be) plus the -ing form of the verb."
He is standing (happening now, continuous).
He was standing (was happening in the past for a period if time, continuous).
He will be standing (future continuous).

Stand is verb so we can use it based on tense he is standing behind her means he is continuing that action , he is stand behind her means does not mean current action
