THE PRESENT PROGRESSIVE In English the present progressive describes actions that are happening now, or in progress. The tense is formed by the present tense of “to be” and a verb ending in –ing. I am swimming. You are camping.

EL PRESENTE PROGRESIVO In Spanish we form the present progressive by… Form of estar + Present Participle Estoy pescando. Estamos hablando.

THE PRESENT PARTICIPLE The present participle of –ar, -er, -ir verbs are formed by… Infinitive hablar comer escribir Stem hablcomescrib- Ending -ando -iendo Present Participle hablando comiendo escribiendo

ATENCION When the stem of an –er verb or –ir verb ends in a vowel, the present participle ends in -yendo leer oir traer leotra- -yendo leyendo oyendo trayendo

ATENCION Ir, poder and venir are irregular present participles. There will also be others to learn later. ir yendo poder pudiendo venir viniendo

-IR STEM-CHANGING VERBS e: ie in the present tense preferir e: i in the present tense conseguir o: ue in the present tense dormir e: i in the present participle prefiriendo e: i in the present participle consiguiendo o: u in the present participle durmiendo

USE OF THE PRESENT PROGRESSIVE The present progressive is used differently in Spanish than in English. In Spanish we use the present progressive to emphasize that an action is taking place at the time it is being described. Estamos estudiando español ahora mismo. Miguel y Ana todavía están durmiendo. We are studying Spanish right now. Miguel and Ana are still sleeping. In English, we use the present progressive tense to talk about actions occurring over an extended period of time or in the future. In Spanish the present simple tense is often used instead. María estudia biología este semestre. Juan y Javier van a España mañana. Maria is studying biology this semester. Juan and Javier are going to Spain tomorrow.
