Review Present Progressive

•Do you remember the present progressive?

•It’s used when a person wants to say that an action is happening “right now.”

Review Present Progressive

•It uses the present tense of estar + the present participle.

•No puedo ir al cine. Estoy estudiando para el examen.

Imperfect Progressive and

Preterite•To describe something that was taking place over a period of time in the past, use the imperfect progressive, which uses the imperfect tense of estar + the present participle.

Imperfect Progressive and

Preterite•Estaba esquiando

cuando me caí y me torcí la rodilla.

•I was skiing when I fell and sprained my knee.

Imperfect Progressive and

Preterite•Both the present and imperfect

progressive tenses use the same irregular present participles.– Juan está comiendo–Juan estaba comiendo

Imperfect Progressive and

Preterite•Remember, to form the present

participle of -ir stem-changing verbs, e changes to i and o changes to u. See for example:–decir diciendo–morir muriendo
