present particle or gerund?

Hello, i am confused by this paragraph below: it states that this rule is relevant when there are direct or indirect pronouns in a sentence with a conjugated verb that is followed by an infinitive or a present participle but then provides an example that has a gerund after the conjugated verb and no example with a present participle. Is this an error?


When there are direct and indirect object pronouns in a sentence with a conjugated verb that is followed by an infinitive or a present participle, 

¿Estás cantando tu canción favorita? Sí, la estoy cantando.Are you singing your favourite song? Yes, I am singing it.
