Answer 1

Use the appropriate form of "estar" ("estoy", "está", etc.) followed by the gerund form of the verb. You will find this if you plug the word into the Conjugation tool (go to "More", than you will find this in the drop down menu.)

An example: "I am walking." = "Estoy caminando."

It's very simple. Try one or two and we will give you some feedback on your work.

Answer 2

You wouldn't use the "present progressive" in some of those sentences in Spanish. They would sound weird. If there is no "progression", you just don't use it.

Excellent point. Doesn't it make you crazy when the homework itself is sloppily constructed? - Echoline, Aug 31, 2010

Answer 3

This looks suspiciously like homework to me.

Your point being? She wasn't given the answers, she was told how to construct the answers. Remarks like this is why users give remarks like the one after yours. - 0074b507, Aug 31, 2010

Answer 4

I am sure this is legit.....no homework doing here.

There are no rules against helping with homework. You cannot just provide them with answers. - 0074b507, Aug 31, 2010
