Present Progressive Tense, or 
I am walking
Present Progressive Tense 
The present progressive tense is how 
you will say the "ing" sound in English 
and describe what you are doing right 
now: I am walking, he is sitting and 
they are spitting. 
To communicate this way you need 2 
things: 
1) a conjugated form of estar 
2) a verb with -ando (-ar ending 
verbs) or -iendo (-er & -ir ending 
verbs at the end 
Check this out noticing the numbers from 
above: 
Yo (1) estoy (2) comiendo. I am eating 
El (1) está (2) cantando. He is singing. 
This is different from yo como = I eat and 
él canta = he sings 
-ar verbs: nadar = nadando = swimming 
jugar = jugando = playing 
-er verbs: comer = comiendo = eating 
-ir verbs: vivir = viviendo = living
1) a conjugated form of estar 
Estar = to be for locations and temporary 
conditions 
Conjugations: 
Yo estoy 
Tú estás 
Èl/ella/usted está 
Nosotros estamos 
vocotros estáis 
Ellos/ellas están
Ejemplos 
 Ella está escuchando 
la música.

después de escuela. 
 Yo estoy comiendo 
los tacos. 
 Ellos están 
estudiando el 
español.
