Present progressive:

Subject Pronoun + estar (conjugated) + gerund

In Spanish, the ending of the gerund depends on the kind of verb:

• for -ar verbs: drop the “-ar” and add → -ando
• for -er and -ir verbs: drop the “-er” or “-ir” and add → -iendo
• Stem-changing -ir verbs (not -ar or -er verbs!) change their stem vowels as follows: o-u, e-i. Note: verbs that change from e-ie and e-i in the present tense both change e-i in the gerund form.
• The gerund of the verb ir is irregular: yendo.
