Transcription de la présentation
  1. The Progressive: Actions in Progress

  2. Present Progressive We will use the Present Progressive to express actions that are happening NOW!

  3. How to form Present Progressive: Estar + Gerund Estoy Estás Ar = ando Está + Estamos Estáis Er, Ir = iendo/yendo Están

  4. Ejemplos: • Silvia is working. • We are studying. • My friends are writing letters. • You are eating. • I am making a cake.

  5. What to do with pronouns: All pronouns can either go before the verb Estar or attached to the end of the Gerund. Me estoy bañando. Estoy bañándome. Ellos lo están comiendo. Ellos están comiéndolo.

  6. What about stem changers? When forming the gerund we only have to worry about –IR stem changers. O ► U (Dormir) Durmiendo E ► I (Pedir) Pidiendo

  7. Past Progressive We will use the Past Progressive to express actions that WERE happening at a certain time in the past.

  8. How to form the Past Progressive: Estar (imperfect) + Gerund (for actions that were happening or are assumed to be have been happening at a specific time) Estaba Estabas Ar = ando Estaba + Estábamos Estabáis Er, Ir = iendo/yendo Estaban

  9. Estar (preterite) + Gerund (for actions that were happening and very definitely have ended- specific time period) Estuve Estuviste Ar = ando Estuvo + Estuvimos Estuvisteis Er, Ir = iendo Estuvieron yendo

  10. Ejemplos: • We were talking to Ana this morning. • At 2:00, I was swimming with friends. • Ana and Carlos were drinking milk during lunch. • You were watching Harry Potter last night at 8:00. • Yolanda was receiving gifts at her graduation party. • What were you doing yesterday?

  11. Progressives with verbs other than Estar • Ir = to be slowly / gradually doing something.(slowly but surely) Vamos repasando los tiempos verbales. • Seguir / continuar: to keep doing something/ to be doing something still • Siguen haciendo los mismos errores.

  12. Venir: to have been doing something / to come along doing something Ella viene leyendo el libro. • Andar: to go around doing something. El anda invitando a todas las chicas.

  13. Just like Estar, these other verbs can be used in either the present tense or in the imperfect tense to express a present or past progressive action.

  14. Ellos andaban coleccionando dinero para la escuela. • Ellos andan coleccionando dinero para la escuela.
