(PRESENT PROGRESSIVE) EL PRESENTE PROGRESIVO

WHAT IS IT? The present progressive is a tense used to describe an action in progress, meaning something that is happening right now.

HOW IS IT FORMED? In English, the structure consists of the verb “to be” and the action verb ending in –ing. I am singing. You are eating. In Spanish, the structure is very similar. It consists of the verb “estar” and the action verb ending in –ando (ar verbs) or –iendo (er/ir verbs). Estoy cantando. Estás comiendo.

PARTICIPIO PRESENTE The verb ending in –ing (English) and –ando/-iendo (Spanish) is called the present participle, or participio presente. To form the participio presente, simply take off the –ar/-er/-ir ending and replace it with –ando or –iendo. HABLAR  HABL + ANDO = HABLANDO COMER  COM + IENDO = COMIENDO ESCRIBIR  ESCRIB + IENDO = ESCRIBIENDO

IMPORTANT NOTES… REMEMBER: The present progressive always consists of TWO PARTS : estar and the present participle (participio presente). The participio presente DOES NOT CHANGE. We know who’s doing the action by the form of estar. In other words, “hablando” does not make sense. I need to say “estoy hablando” to know who’s doing the action.
