Present progressive of estudiar

Question

What is the present progressive of estudiar

is it estudiendo

or

is it estudyendo

or

something else?

Answer 1

It's estudiando.

Check this link for additional help.

Progressive tense consists of two components:

estar + present participle.

Estudiar is an -ar verb, so the present participle will end in -ando, and the present participle of estudiar is estudiando. Now, if the sentence were "I am studying", the Spanish translation would be estoy estudiando.

For -er/-ir verbs, such as vivir, the present participle will be viviendo, since the present participle will have an -iendo ending.

The -yendo ending in the participle occurs in double-voweled infinitives, such as creer, whose present participle is creyendo.

Where did estoy come from? present tense, indicative of Estar+gerundio (may seem obvious to you, but not to a beginner) - 0074b507, Jun 27, 2010

I guess I mistyped it then. I thought I saw estoy there, which is why I wrote that. I will modify it then. - AgentB, Jun 27, 2010
