Saying "I'm going to be + gerund"
How do I say this in the context of "I'm going to be helping them clean the house"(periodically)
Would this be: "iba a estar los ayudando limpiar la casa", since it is an ongoing action? or would it be something more like "voy a estar ayudando..."? Appreciate the responses! Last edited by Tycholiz; April 30, 2012 at 04:50 PM.

[Cuando atardezca] Voy a estar ayudándolos a limpiar la casa (non-periodical)
This structure doesn't fit well with periodical events. Better "les voy a ayudar a limpiar la casa (de manera regular)"
