recommending
Sayrek-uh-MEND-ing/ˌɹɛkəˈmɛndɪŋ/
- 1Present participle and gerund of recommend.
The doctor is recommending a longer course of treatment for the infection.

Note
One spelling does two jobs. After a form of be it builds the progressive (is recommending a treatment). On its own it acts as a noun that still takes a direct object like a verb (recommending candidates). Every meaning of recommend carries over, including the archaic one of committing someone to another's care. When you want a plain noun with no object, use recommendation instead.
