they are casting
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing action), active voice, indicative mood, third person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active indicative, third person plural form denotes an ongoing or habitual action performed by multiple subjects. "They are casting" preserves the root sense of throwing or placing with deliberate action while reflecting present tense and plural agency. |
