  1. Present Progressives…… “-ING” bailando (dancing) comiendo (eating) leyendo (reading) creyendo (believing) bebiendo (drinking) estudiando (studying)

  2. The present progressive talks about what is happening right now. For example: You are eating. He is reading. I am studying. To form this in Spanish, use a conjugated form of ESTAR (to be) followed by the –ing. Soooo…. ¿Cuáles son las formas de estar? present progressive…-ING

  3. ESTAR (to be) ….. Notice the accents!! yo tú él,ella, Ud. nosotros vosotros ellos, ellas, Uds. estoy (I am) estás (You are) está (He/She is) estamos (We are) estáis (Y’all are) están (They are) <<<<<< <<<<<< <<<<<< <<<<<< present progressive…-ING

  4. Next…. Replace the –AR ending of –ar verbs with –ANDO and the –ER/-IR endings of –er/-ir verbs with -IENDO bail AR ANDO dance dancING com IENDO ER eat eatING escrib IR IENDO write  writING present progressive…-ING

  5. A couple little tricky things…. Sometimes you must change the spelling in order to maintain the original sound of the word. This is called an orthographic change. Some common examples are: caer: cayendocreer: creyendohuir: huyendoir: yendoinfluir: influyendooír: oyendotraer: trayendoleer: leyendoseguir: siguiendo One way to remember which to change is to conjugate the verb “normally” and if you end up with three (3) vowels in a row, then you need to replace the “i” with “y”. present progressive…-ING

  6. For example… 3 vowels (aei)!!! Drop the “i” & add a “y” caer (to fall) leer(to read) traer (to take) ca Yendo IENDO 3 vowels (eie)!!! Drop the “i” & add a “y” le IENDO Yendo 3 vowels (aei)!!! Drop the “i” & add a “y” tra IENDO Yendo Why??? Say the first version (with the 3 vowels) and then say the word with the replacement “y” in there. Which one is easier to say?? caIENDO or caYendo present progressive…-ING

  7. One more little tricky thing…. To form the present participle of -ir stem changing verbs (BOOT VERBS!) change e->i and o->u in the stem, and then add -iendo to the stem of the verb. e->i servir (to serve)pedir (to ask for) decir (to say) servir sirviendo sirvir pidiendo pedir ->>> diciendo decir ->>> o->u dormir (to sleep)morir (to die) dormir durmir durmiendo morir ->>> muriendo present progressive…-ING

  8. Put it all together…. Estar + present particple (-ing) • Traduzca lo siguiente. • I am studying (estudiar). ___________________ • They are reading (leer). ___________________ • Y’all are bringing (traer). ___________________ • He is dying (morir). ___________________ • We are serving. (servir). ___________________ • You (tú) are eating (comer). ___________________ (Yo) estoy estudiando. (Ellos/as) están leyendo. (Vosotros) estáis trayendo. (Él) está muriendo. (Nosotros) estamos sirviendo. (Tú) estás comiendo. present progressive…-ING
