1.) To form present progressive we start with the verb <<estar>>. • Remember how to conjugate <<estar>>?
estoyestamos • estásestáis • está, están • The conjugated forms of the verb <<estar>> tells us who is doing the action.
2.) To form the present progressive with <<–ar>>verbs, we drop the <<-ar>> and add <<-ando>> • Hablar =Habl + ando = • Hablando
2.) To form the present participle with <<–er>> & • <<–ir>> verbs, we drop the • <<–er>> & <<–ir>> and add • <<-iendo>> • Comer = comiendo • Escribir = escribiendo
Let’s practice the present participles (-ando, iendo) • Beber • Tomar • Comer • Vivir • Bailar
One way to express the –ing suffix in English is to use the present participle. • bebiendo = drinking • tomando = taking, drinking • comiendo= eating • viviendo = living • bailando = dancing
These <<-ando>> and <<-iendo>> words are called the present participle. The present participle can never stand alone. • So we put it with <<estar>> so we can tell who is doing the action.
To do this, first conjugate <<estar>>, then add the correct <<-ando>> or <<-iendo>> to the action verb. • Estoy = I am • bailando = dancing
