PRESENT PROGRESSIVE TENSE In English, the present progressive tense is a two-part verb formed using the present tense of the verb to be plus the -ing form (called the gerund or present participle) of the main verb. This tense is used to indicate something in progress or happening right now. I am talking on the phone.
He is eating.
They are leaving.
Spanish is the same – but since there are two (2) verbs that mean to be, which one should you use? Estar is used – NEVER ser. Let’s review the present tense forms of the verb estar. Estar yo
estoy
tú
estás
él ella usted
está
To Be nosotros nosotras vosotros vosotras ellos ellas ustedes
estamos estáis están
The present participle in Spanish is formed by adding -ando to the stem of -ar verbs and -iendo to the stem of -er and -ir verbs. hablar – habl- hablando
comer – com- comiendo
vivir – viv- viviendo
Some -er and -ir verbs substitute a y for i in the participle. Note: the stem of these verbs ends in a vowel. leer – le- leyendo;
creer – cre- creyendo;
traer – tra- trayendo
The present participle of -ir verbs which have an e -> i and o -> u stem change in the preterite tense show that same change in the present participle. sentir - sintiendo repetir - repitiendo seguir - siguiendo pedir - pidiendo servir - sirviendo preferir - prefiriendo dormir - durmiendo morir - muriendo Some verbs are irregular: venir - viniendo The present participle of the verb ir is yendo.
decir - diciendo
poder - pudiendo
The present progressive: Yo hablo in Spanish can be translated into English as I talk, I do talk or I am talking. Since one of the translations of Yo hablo is I am talking, why do we even need the present progressive? The answer is to give a more graphic picture of an action in progress at a given moment. It makes the "presentness" more vivid. ¿Qué haces? What are you doing? ¿Qué estás haciendo? What are you doing ? Llueve.* It's raining. Está lloviendo. It is raining. (emphasizes that it is happening now) Nieva.* It's snowing. Está nevando. It is snowing. (emphasizes that it is happening now) Salimos ahora. We are leaving now. Estamos saliendo ahora. We are leaving now. (walking out the door.) Ellos llegan ahora. They are arriving. Están llegando. They are arriving. (coming in the house) Hablo por teléfono. I'm talking on the phone. Estoy hablando por teléfono. I'm talking on the phone. (Emphasis on now, so don't bother me.) *Note: These verbs are stem changing in the present tense, but the gerund is formed from the infinitive – no stem change. Page 1 of 1
