In a sentence

いもうと妹little sisterがないている泣いているcrying

My little sister is crying

How it works

が (subject) points out who is doing the action — the 妹いもうと (little sister). The verb is 泣くなく (cry), shifted into the て (te-form) plus いる (be) to make 泣いているないている (is crying). That 〜ている (ongoing action) form shows the action is happening right now, in progress.
