Note
The -ing form carries every use of indicate, from pointing something out to a driver signaling a turn. As a participle it builds progressives (the gauge was indicating a leak) or trails a clause after a comma (he paused, indicating the door). As a gerund it works as a noun: indicating left before you turn. The final e of indicate drops before -ing, as usual.
