Paula McCorkle P-1
The present progressive form is used to say what is happening at the exact moment.
To form the present progressive, you use the appropriate form of estar + the present participle (-ando or –iendo, depending on the verb).
Doblar Dobl- Doblando
Poner Pon- Poniendo
El coche está doblando en la esquina.
The car is turning in the corner.
Tú me estás poniendo nerviosa.
You are making me nervous.
To form the present participle of –ir stem-changing verbs, the e in the stem of the infinitive changes to i, and the o in the stem changes to u.
decir diciendo pedir pidiendo repetir repitiendo
servir sirviendo
seguir siquiendo dormir durmiendo
El perro está durmiendo en el suelo.
The dog is sleeping on the floor.
To form the present participle of the following –er verbs, add –yendo instead of –iendo.
creer creyendo
leer leyendo
traer trayendo
Nosotros estamos leyendo un libro.

When using a direct object pronoun with a present progressive, the pronoun can either come before estar or attached to the present participle. If you attach it to the participle, you must add an accent mark.
