  2. What is it? • Present progressive = form of estar + the present participle. (The present participle is merely the "-ing" form of a verb.) • Example: Estoy hablando. I am talking.

  3. How to do it? • In order to form the present progressive, you must know how to conjugate the verb estar, and how to form the present participle. You already know how to conjugate the verb estar: estar • estoyestásestáestamosestán

  4. -ar verbs • To form the present participle of regular -ar verbs, add -ando to the stem of the verb. • hablar: hablando(hablar - ar + ando) • trabajar: trabajando(trabajar - ar + ando)

  5. -er and –ir verbs • To form the present participle of regular -er and -ir verbs, add -iendo to the stem of the verb. • comer: comiendo(comer - er + iendo) • hacer: haciendo(hacer - er + iendo) • vivir: viviendo(vivir - ir + iendo)

  6. -ir stem changers • To form the present participle of -ir stem changing verbs, change e:i and o:u in the stem, and then add -iendo to the stem of the verb. • servir: sirviendo (e:i in stem) • dormir: durmiendo (o:u in stem)

  7. “Ortho” changes • Sometimes it’s necessary to change the spelling so it agrees with the way it is pronounced. We call this an "orthographic" change. Here are some common examples: • caer: cayendocreer: creyendo

  8. FYI • It is important to remember that you would never use the present progressive to say something like "We are going to Spain this summer." • Use present progressive only for actions that are "in progress."
