The present progressive will always have a form of ESTAR in front of the verb. For example 1. Jaime está lavandose. number 4 is misisng the verb estar. - Westoncito, Apr 24, 2012

Answer 1

Well, first, you have to have a form of ESTAR before each present participle. A typical structure might look like SUBJECT - ESTAR - PresentParticiple-ReflexivePronoun Here's one to get you started: Jaime está lavandose.

Answer 2
