also be used to form the Present Progressive , which we use to talk about things that are happening RIGHT NOW.
Here is how the progressive tense is formed( There are TWO parts):

Estoy, Estas, Esta, Estamos, Estais or Estan
¡Practicamos!
Write
these verbs in the progressive form. Then translate to English.
yo / practicar windsurf Yo estoy practicando windsurf
nosotros / jugar a cartas Nosotros estamos jugando a cartas
ustedes / hacer la maleta UStedes estan hacienda la maleta
Carmen / salir del hotel Carmen esta saliendo del hotel

leer: leyendo
oír: oyendo
dormir: dumiendo
traer: trayendo_____________________
ir: ______yendo________________________
decir: diciendo
pedir: pidiendo
preferir: prefiriendo
