Vocabulario Nuevo

Present Progressive Tense, orI am walking

Present Progressive Tense

The present progressive tense is how you will say the "ing" sound in English and describe what you are doing right now: I am walking, he is sitting and they are spitting.

To communicate this way you need 2 things:

1) a conjugated form of estar

2) a verb with -ando (-ar ending verbs) or -iendo (-er & -ir ending verbs at the end

Check this out noticing the numbers from above:

Yo (1) estoy (2) comiendo. I am eating

El (1) está (2) cantando. He is singing.

This is different from yo como = I eat and él canta = he sings

-ar verbs: nadar = nadando = swimming

jugar = jugando = playing

-er verbs: comer = comiendo = eating

-ir verbs: vivir = viviendo = living

1) a conjugated form of estar

Estar = to be for locations and temporary conditions
