hello
when can I say Mike is dancing, Mike dancing?

If I'm talking in present simple can I say " he talk (without the s) about sth" or she\he\it always come with verb with "s"?

thanks a lot

You cannot say 'Mike dancing' as a form of Mike is dancing'. You can say 'I saw Mike dancing'. The third person singular form of the verb in the present simple should always end in -s in standard English.

The third person singular form of the verb in the present simple should always end in -s in standard English. This applies to all verbs except the modals.

You can't. BE (am, is, are) is an essential part of the present continuous.
