15. Present Progressive The present progressive is the present tense but models something that is continued on. For example, the present tense would be : I read a book. But for present progressive it would be : I am reading a book. To make a Spanish sentence like this, the irregular verb “estar” must be used. The formula for present prgressive is : “estar” + verb + ando/endo The verb “estar” must be conjugated correctly according to the pronoun. The “-ando” and “-iendo” are depended on what type of verb is being added after “estar”. If it is an “-ar” verb, “-ando” must be used. For example, the verbhablarwould look like : hablando (hablar – ar + ando) “-iendo” is used for “-er” and “-ir” verbs. For example, the verbs comer and vivirwould look like : comiendo(comer – er + iendo) and viviendo(vivir – ir + iendo) For the verb “ir” meaning “to go” instead of using “-ando” or “-iendo” replace the whole word with “yendo”. For verbs like “leer” where if the “er” is taken away, adding “iendo” to a vowel doesn’t make sense, you change the “i” in “iendo” to a “y”. For example, the verb leer would look like : leyendo(leer – er + iendo [change the i to y]) Go back ***please do not press → or ← . use the mouse only***
