Progressive – has two parts a helping verb and the present participle of a main verb which ends in -ing

Is talking - where “is” is the helping verb and “talking” is the present participle/main verb)

Estar is the helping verb:

estoy estamos
estás estáis
está están

To form a present participle in Spanish . . .

1. drop off the –ar and add –ando

hablar = habl- + -ando → hablando

tomar = tom- + -ando → tomando

2. drop off the –er or –ir and add –iendo

comer = com- + -iendo → comiendo

escribir = escrib- + iendo → escribiendo

Change hago to the progressive – estoy hacienda

Go back to the verb hager, so estoy hacienda

** one rule – if changing you get three vowels in a row, change I to y

Leer = leiendo, so change to leyendo

Creer = creiendo, so change to creyendo

Don’t forget to use the infinitive!! If you are told to change verb to progressive, it MUST have a form
of estar with it!!!!!

Hablas – estas hablando

Comemos – estamos comiendo

Escriben – están escribiendo
