Today's goal:
Learn how to form the present progressive tense of the verbs you know. Then, practice this tense to talk about what people are doing right now.
4
English Grammar Connection:
In both English and Spanish, the present progressive tense is used to say that an action is in progress at this moment.
Roberto is skating in the park
Roberto está patinando en el parque
5
Present progressive
To form the present progressive in Spanish, use the present tense of estar + a present participle.
Here's how: To form the present participle of a verb, drop the infinitve's ending and add -ando (for -ar verbs) and -iendo (for -er and -ir verbs)

Let's see it in action!
caminar→camin-←ando
caminando
Está caminando en la calle
She is walking in the street
7
Let's see it in action!
poner→pon-←iendo
poniendo
Están poniendo la comida en la mesa
They are putting the food on the table
8
Let's see it in action!
abrir→abr-←iendo
abriendo
Está abriendo la puerta
He is opening the door
9
When the stem of an -er or -ir verb ends in a vowel, change the -iendo to -yendo
leer→leyendo
traer→trayendo
10
The e→i stem-changing will continue to have the vowel change in the stem.
pedir→pidiendo
servir→sirviendo
vestir→vistiendo
11
Some other verbs will also experience stem changes
decir→diciendo
venir→viniendo
dormir→durmiendo
12
Place pronouns before the conjugated form of estar or attach them to the end of the present participle. Add an accent when you attach a pronoun
Me estoy vistiendo or Estoy vistiéndome
