在 used as a gerund?
It this sentence 这个男人在吃水果 is 在 used like -ing in English? This (one) boy is eat(ing) a fruit. I am still not clear on many of the particles. I know 个 is a quantifier but I am not sure on the use of 在 outside of location. So I guess a good comparison would be between 是在这儿吗？and the question above.
