Present Progressive: In Spanish you can express what is happening right now in 2 ways: I am running. Regular present tense: Yo corro. Present Progressive: Yo estoy corriendo. Spanish speakers would use the regular present tense much more than the Present Progressive. Present progressive is only used for what is happening RIGHT NOW – tends to be used more as emphasis.
