1 meaning of consisting

1
verb
Present participle and gerund of consist.
The committee released a report consisting of three main sections.
He served a breakfast consisting of eggs, toast, and fresh fruit.
Note
A participle that almost never forms a progressive: consist is stative, so "the report is consisting of three sections" sounds wrong, while "a report consisting of three sections" is natural. Its home is the reduced relative clause, where it stands in for "which consists of." The railroad noun consist, a train's lineup of cars, shares the base spelling but lends nothing to this form.
