The Present Progressive In English the present progressive describes actions that are happening now, or in progress. The tense is formed by the present tense of “to be” and a verb ending in –ing. I am swimming. You are camping.

Use of the present progressive The present progressive is used differently in Spanish than in English. In Spanish we use the present progressive to emphasize that an action is taking place at the time it is being described. Estamos estudiando español Miguel y Ana todavía están durmiendo. ahora mismo. We are studying Spanish right now. Miguel and Ana are still sleeping. In English, we use the present progressive tense to talk about actions occurring over an extended period of time or in the future. In Spanish the present simple tense is often used instead. María estudia biología este semestre. Juan y Javier van a España mañana. Maria is studying biology this semester. Juan and Javier are going to Spain tomorrow.
