Present Progressive Tense of Spanish

Present Progressive Tense of Spanish The current dynamic tense of Spanish is shaped with the straightforward current state of estar followed by a current participle, otherwise called an ing word. Contrasts Between Progressive and Simple Tenses Along these lines, the current dynamic types of comer are: Estoy comiendo. I am eating.Ests comiendo. You are eating.Est comiendo. You/he/she are/is eating.Estamos comiendo. We are eating.Estis comiendo. You are eating.Estn comiendo. You/they are eating. Something you may see immediately is that the straightforward current state can likewise be deciphered a similar way. Along these lines comemos can likewise mean We are eating. So whats the distinction? The primary distinction is that, similar to the next dynamic action word shapes, the current dynamic (otherwise called the present nonstop) tense accentuates the procedure, or that something is in progress, more than the basic present does. The distinction can be an inconspicuous one, and there isnt constantly a major contrast in significance between the basic present and the current dynamic. Once more, the issue is one of accentuation. You may ask a companion,  ¿En que piensas? or then again  ¿En que ests pensando? what's more, the two of them would mean What are you thinking about? In any case, the last places more accentuation on the reasoning procedure. In certain unique circumstances (yet not all), the implication of the Spanish dynamic may be passed on in a sentence, for example, What are you thinking? where the English verbal accentuation gives a slight difference in importance. How the Present Progressive Is Used Here are a few instances of sentences where the in-progress nature of the action words activity can be seen: Estoy escribiendo el plan de negocios para mi empresa. (I am composing the marketable strategy for my enterprise.)Estamos estudiando la posibilidad de hacerla bianualmente. (We are contemplating the chance of doing it biannually.) ¿Le estn saliendo sus primeros dientitos? (Are his first child teeth developing out?)Me estoy rompiendo en pedazos. (Im self-destructing. Actually, Im breaking in pieces.)Los libros electrã ³nicos estn ganando popularidad. (Electronic books are picking up fame.) The current dynamic can propose that something is occurring at the present time, and once in a while it can demonstrate that the activity is something sudden or liable to be of brief term:  ¿Quà © es esto que estoy sintiendo? (Whats this Im feeling now?)No me molestes. Estoy estudiando. (Dont trouble me. Im studying.)⠿ã‰sto es lo que ests diciendo? (This is the thing that youre telling me?)Puedo ver que ests sufriendo. (I can see youre languishing.) Also, in some cases, the current dynamic can be utilized for nearly the inverse, to show that something is continually occurring again and again, despite the fact that it may not be going on right now: Sabemos que estamos comiendo maã ­z transgã ©nico. (We realize we are continually eating hereditarily designed corn.)Las unidades se estn vendiendo ilegalmente en los Estados Unidos. (The units continue being sold unlawfully in the United States.)Los barcos de aluminio satisfarã ­an bien si usted est pescando mucho en los rã ­os. (The aluminum pontoons would be very appropriate in the event that you are angling constantly in streams.) Remember that while huge numbers of the example sentences here are deciphered utilizing the current dynamic in English, you shouldnt routinely make an interpretation of that English structure to Spanish that way. Spanish understudies as often as possible abuse the dynamic, mostly on the grounds that it is utilized in English in manners that it isnt in Spanish. For instance, the English sentence We are leaving tomorrow, would be counter-intuitive whenever deciphered utilizing the Spanish present dynamic, as Estamos saliendo would normally be comprehended to mean We are leaving now or We are leaving. Other Progressive Tenses Dynamic tenses can likewise be shaped by utilizing different tenses of estar. Albeit a portion of the tenses are only sometimes utilized, they are utilized a lot of like their English partners. Similarly as with the current state, the utilization of a dynamic instead of straightforward tense puts an accentuation on the proceeding with nature of the activity. A model is the preterite dynamic, which demonstrates that an activity proceeded over some stretch of time however reached a clear conclusion. This can be found in this sentence: La compaã ±ia estuvo comprando derechos de agua. (The organization was purchasing water rights.) A similar sentence could be rephrased into the defective dynamic (La compaã ±ia estaba comprando derechos de agua) without an adjustment in interpretation, however its importance would change somewhat. In the defective, the sentence doesnt obviously show that the buying reached a conclusion. Dynamic tenses can even be framed utilizing the ideal tenses of estar. For instance, the future impeccable dynamic is utilized in this sentence: Habrã © estado viajando aproximadamente 24 horas. (I will have been going around 24 hours.) Key Takeaways The dynamic tenses are framed by consolidating a type of estar with the current participle or gerund.The dynamic tenses underscore the proceeding with nature of the action.English speakers ought to be mindful so as not to abuse the dynamic tenses in Spanish, which utilizes them less every now and again than English does.
