Presente Progresivo Present progressive Used for action that is happening at the moment In English, it would be: To be + Verb + -ing Ex. I am eating. In Spanish: Estar + Verb Estoy hablar Estoy comer Drop the –er/-ir or –ar Estoy habl- Estoy com- Add –ando or –iendo Estoy hablando Estoy comiendo I am talking; I am eating
-ando -ando is used only for -ar verbs Ex. Bailar = Jugar = Caminar = Estudiar = Escuchar = Cantar = Sacar = -iendo -iendo is used for –ir/-er verbs Ex. Comer = Vivir = Salir = Ver = Correr = Crecer = Fingir = Jugando Bailando Caminando Estudiando Escuchando Cantando Sacando Corriendo Viviendo Saliendo Viendo Comiendo Creciendo Fingiendo REMEMBER! Most verbs will be conjugated this way!!
Irregular present progressive Of course, there are always irregulars If the verb has two vowels in a row, and end in –ir or –er, they will have a spell change The –iendo turns into - yendo Eg. Creer Creyendo Caer Cayendo Oir Oyendo Leer Leyendo
More irregular present progressive If the verb is stem- changing, and ends in –ir, it will be irregular. You will keep the stem- change, but get rid of the “e” that is part of the stem-change. Eg. Dormir = duermo Duermiendo NO!! Drop the ‘e’ Durmiendo Sí!! Servir = sirvo Sirviendo Sí!! There is no ‘e’ in this stem- change Sentir = siento Sientiendo NO!! Drop the ‘e’ Sintiendo Sí!!
It’s your turn!
