Hello Bahamas:
All you need to do is, to look in the bilingual dictionary how's the verb written in Spanish and look at its conjugation. |

I corrected several things above, but most of the corrections were for missing tildes (accent marks). When you're typing, look just above the text input box for an 'Accents' drop-down menu. It contains all the special characters you'll need to type in Spanish. Perhaps, by "now tense," you mean the present progressive/present continuous verb form. Technically, it isn't a tense. The present continuous is a two-part verb form. The first part is a conjugated form of the verb estar, in the present indicative tense. (The 1st person conjugation is estoy.) The first part is immediately followed by a present participle. This is known as el gerundio in Spanish. To form the present participle, you just change the ending. (There are irregular forms, which you'll learn later.) For verbs ending in -ar, like hablar, the ending becomes -ando (hablar - hablando). For -er and -ir verbs, the ending becomes -iendo (comer - comiendo | vivir - viviendo). So, putting both parts together, the present continuous form of (yo) como (I eat, I do eat, I'm eating) is estoy comiendo. (Notice I dropped the subject pronoun yo. It isn't necessary.) |
