EL PRESENTE PROGRESIVO The present progressive tense is used to express an action that is presently going on. The action of the verb is happening RIGHT NOW! To form the present progressive, you use the present tense of the verb estar + a present participle. THIS VERB MUST HAVE BOTH PARTS!! DON’T JUST USE THE PARTICIPLE. A present participle is formed by removing the –AR and adding –ANDO or by removing the –ER/-IR and adding –IENDO . Subject Pronouns yo tú él, ella, ud. THE PRESENT PROGRESSIVE ESTAR + PRESENT PARTICIPLE (-ando / -iendo) HABLAR COMER SALIR estoy hablando estás hablando está hablando estoy comiendo estás comiendo está comiendo estoy saliendo estás saliendo está saliendo estamos hablando estamos comiendo estamos saliendo vosotros estáis hablando estáis comiendo estáis saliendo ellos, ellas, uds. están hablando están comiendo están comiendo nosotros Note the difference in meaning: Yo estudio el español. = I study Spanish. I do study Spanish. I am studying Spanish (in general). Yo estoy estudiando el español. = I am studying Spanish. (right now, right this second) IF A SENTENCE IS NEGATIVE, PLACE “NO” IN FRONT OF THE CONJUGATED FORM OF ESTAR. (Yo NO estoy prestando atención.) PRESENT PARTICIPLES FOR STEM CHANGING VERBS: AR verbs ignore the stem change. (jugar becomes jugando) ER verbs ignore the stem change. (volver becomes volviendo) IR VERBS CHANGE (O to U instead of ue, E to I instead of ie) (example durmiendo, example mintiendo) IRREGULAR PARTICIPLES: IR is YENDO in the participle. OTHER IRREGULARITIES: For ER and IR verbs: You may NOT have an unaccented I between two other vowels. When that happens, you change the I to Y. Examples: Leer: Creer: Oír: Traer: Destruir: leiendo changes to leyendo creiendo changes to creyendo oiendo changes to oyendo traiendo changes to trayendo destruiendo changes to destruyendo Present Progressive with pronouns (direct object, indirect object or reflexive) 1. You may either place the pronoun BEFORE the entire verb Example: Lo estoy leyendo. Me estoy lavando. 2. You may ATTACH the pronoun to the end of the participle. Example: Estoy leyéndolo. Estoy lavándome. NOTE: When attaching, add an accent mark. (ándo and iéndo)
