El Presente Progresivo
We use Present Tense to talk about what is happening now, in
the present.
Hablo = I talk or I am talking
What does <<llueve>> mean?
It rains or it is raining, in general.
We use Present Progressive to put emphasis on what is happening RIGHT now.
What does <<Está lloviendo>> mean?
It is raining, right now, outside my window.
<<Está lloviendo>> is Present Progressive.
We use present progressive to talk about what is
happening RIGHT NOW.

El presente progresivo objective…talking about what happens right now.
Two vocabulary phrases often used with this tense are…
Ahora (mismo) (right) now En este momento at this moment
1.) To form present progressive we start with
the verb <<estar>>.
Remember how to conjugate <<estar>>?
estoy estamosestás estáisestá,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 = comiendoEscribir = escribiendo
Let’s practice the present participles (-ando, iendo)
1. Beber2. Tomar3. Comer4. Vivir5. Bailar
1. bebiendo = drinking2. tomando = taking,
drinking3. comiendo = eating4. viviendo = living5. bailando = dancing
One way to express the –ing suffix in English is to use the present participle.
So we put it with <<estar>> so we can tell who is doing
the action.
These <<-ando>> and <<-iendo>> words are called the present participle. The present participle can never
stand alone.
To do this, first conjugate <<estar>>, then add the
correct <<-ando>> or <<-iendo>> to the action verb.
Estoy = I ambailando = dancing
Remember the present progressive gives emphasis that something is happening now. Está escuchando. Escucha.
Practice by writing or saying the sentences with the present progressive.
