El presente continuo:

Other types of present progressive

You can also make a present progressive using the verbs IR, ANDAR or SEGUIR instead of ESTAR.

Remember you still need to add a present participle afterwards (ando/iendo)

This does slightly change the meaning of what you are saying.

IR+ ando/iendo

Ir changes to mean “slowly but surely”

Andar + ando/iendo

Andar here means “going around”

Isabelandabuscandotrabajo

Isabelis going aroundlookingfor work.

Seguir + ando/iendo

Seguir here means “still, continues to”

                                        Seguir (e-i)

Weare continuingto look forwork
