-ING... Rules?

Question

[color=purple][/color]I can't find the rules to adding -ING to verbs. I don't think it's in the Grammar part of the reference section, unless it's mixed with another part of grammar. Is it just that I haven't reached a far enough level in the lessons? If someone could tell me where I can find these rules, I would really appreciate it.

Gracias! Tienes una dia buena!

Answer 1

True, Fred, just in case, Tutor you want to check the thread here it is:

ing-form

Answer 2

EDIT: Doh, sorry, Heidita answered it =P.

I think to express that you are going to do something the infinitive expression is "ir a " Voy a comprar una coche nueva. I'm going to buy a new car.

Look under verbs reference "gerund" for things like "estoy comiendo" I'm eating, etc. This was actually my first question when I joined the forums as well.

Answer 3

Ok. thank you so much. I don't know how I missed it, but I can definitely find it now.

Answer 4

Tutor, we have this on our reference page:

http://www.spanishdict.com/reference/verbs/gerunds

You will find the different forms explained by Paralee the teacher. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Answer 5

Yes, I want to know how to say things like eating, studying, and living. Same for irregular verbs, too. If you can tell me where to find the rules, that would be great.

Answer 6

HI tutor, welcome to the forum

I guess you are trying to convert the form

I am going to buy a new car

to Spanish?

Is that your question'
