Notes on Participles:
Participles are the -ing words in a sentences…. For example: going, talking, working….
They do not agree with the subject:
I go…. Not I going….
He talks….. Not He talking…..
You can see that the parts like "He talking" is missing something…. Just doesn’t sound right.
We will use the participles to form the present progressive tense, to say things like "I am writing."
Rules to form the participles:
1. -ar verbs:
drop the -ar and add -ando
despechar = to anger
despechando = angering
2. -er & -ir verbs: drop the -er and -ir and add -iendo
vivir = to live
viviendo = living
carcomer = to gnaw
carcomiendo = gnawing
3. The verb Ir (to go)
Ir is irregular, but we say "going" a lot! SOOOO…..
ir = to go
yendo = going
4. -ir stem change verbs: Verbs that end in -ir and have a stem change in the present tense
THIS RULE DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY -AR or -ER VERBS!
