The present continuous tense 🔆🇪🇸
Use the present tense to describe what you do and what things are like. The present continuous can be used to talk about what is happening now.🌎✔️
The present participle
This is the equivalent of the English verb form which ends in '-ing'. To form the present participle, remove the -ar, -er or -ir from the infinitive and add these endings:

-ar verbs → -ando
-er verbs → -iendo
-ir verbs → -iendo
A small number of verbs (including some stem-changing verbs) have irregular present participles. For example:

leer (to read) → leyendo (reading)
oír (to hear) → oyendo (hearing)
dormir (to sleep) → durmiendo (sleeping)
vivir (to die) → viviendo (living)
