El presente progresivo
Or… what’s going on?????
The present progressive is
formed by using the
present tense of estar with
the present participle of
another verb.
First, think of the present tense
forms of “estar”
 estoy
 estamos
 estás
 estáis
 está
 están
Now: remove the -ar, -er, or -ir
from the other verb and
add ando to the -ar stem and
iendo to the -er or -ir stem.
This form is called a present
participle or, in Spanish, el
gerundio.

When an object pronoun is used with the
present progressive, place it before the verb,
or after and attached to the participle. When
the object pronoun is attached to the
participle, an accent mark is added.
Lupita me está escuchando.
Lupita está escuchándome.
The present progressive can also be used with andar and
seguir.
Andar + present participle give the impression that
someone goes around doing something continuously,
sometimes with a slightly negative connotation.
Pablo anda diciendo que Alicia rompió con él.
Seguir + present participle is used to say that someone
keeps on doing something, or is still doing something.
Ana sigue viviendo en Madrid.
In Spanish, ser, ir, and venir are never used
in the present progressive with estar or andar.
Use the simple present: soy, voy, vengo.
¿Vienes a mi fiesta?
No, voy al cine con mi novio. Lo siento.
