Verbs


"He is running. They are dancing. I am liking ... "

The above are examples of the present progressive tense, which is used for continuous actions that are taking place right now. This tense works the same way in English and in Spanish.

Take the verb "to be" (estar) and conjugate it in the present tense, then add the present participle on the tail end.

Estoy caminando. I am walking.
Estamos jugando. We are playing.
Estas fingiendo. You are faking.
