UNLIKE ENGLISH, THE SPANISH PRESENT PROGRESSIVE IS USED ONLY TO DESCRIBE WHAT IS HAPPENING

LOS VERBOS DE -IR (LOS FEOS) QUE TIENEN CAMBIO EN LA RAÍZ
Stem-changing "Ir" verbs continue to stem-change in the participle with a small difference:
O-->UE stem-changers change from O--> U
E-->IE and E-->I stem-changers both change from E->I.
Decir (i,i) diciendo
Dormir (ue,u) durmiendo
Pedir (i,i) pidiendo

LOS VERBOS DE -ER/-IR ENDING IN TWO VOWELS
will replace the weak (poodle) “i“ with a (german shepherd) “y" in the participle.
Spanish doesn’t permit three vowels in a row with an unaccented “i” in the middle!
Leer leiendo leyendo (see?) Oír oyendo (easy!) Creer [to believe] creyendo Caer [to Fall] cayendo (ok, you've
got it!)
Yip! No!
Yip!
ARF!
