Quick Question #3

Question

Here's another quick question: How do you say 'stopping' in Spanish? I looked it up on translation and learned that 'perando' is 'to stop' but I never found out what 'stopping' means.

Answer 1

Go back to Translation, type in stop, click on the word Conjugation to the right of underlined word Dictionary. This will give you all the forms of the verb "parar" and you are looking for Gerund. It's right there at the top and is "parando". The -ndo ending on Spanish verbs corresponds to the English -ing or present participle form of the verb.

You might want to get yourself a nice book about Spanish verbs so you can familiarize yourself with the many changes that occur.

Thank you for clearing that up :) - Matjam, Oct 19, 2015
