1. Present Progressive means “-ING” something (the action is happening as the sentence is being said.)
2. It is formed by first conjugating ESTAR.
We can use either the PRESENT or IMPERFECT tense
3. We then take the verb that we are do “-ING” and remove the ending.
4. We replace the ending with ANDO, IENDO, or YENDO.
ANDO is for AR and IENDO, YENDO is for ER/IR
