Step-by-step explanation:

PRESENTE PROGRESIVO in Spanish is like "present continuous" in English.

The progressive present tense in Spanish is formed with the verb estar and with the gerund of the verb that does the action.

Form:

ESTAR + Verb root + ending -ANDO (if infinitive verb finishes in “ar”)

+ ending -IENDO (if infinitive verb finishes in “er” or “ir”)
