Japanese: What is the te-form of iru?

Question:

What is the -te form and -teimasu form of iru (to exist - animate being)? Thanks!!

Answer:

-te form of iru is "ite"

-teimasu form of iru is ..... , "imasu".
"iru" + "masu" = "imasu"

Edit:
"iru" is like "be"
"--- teimasu" is like " be ---- ing".
"---- teimasu" form contains "iru" in itself. So you cannot make "iru" + "teimasu".
