  One of the most silliest doubt anyone can actually get. But do you really know why is it called a building even if it is already built??? Let's see...

  The word "building" is a gerund. It is a noun formed by adding the suffix "-ing" to the verb "build". So basically the word "building" that we use for 'a structure with roof and walls' is actually a noun and not the verb which means 'the creation or development of something'.

 The above does not apply only for building but also for similar words like 'painting', 'drawing', etc.
