pedir

pidiendo

Find the present participle of the following verb (the present participle is the form of the verb used in the imperfect progressive tense):

creer

creyendo

(The i in the ending -iendo changed to a y because three vowels can not be next to each other in Spanish words.)

Some -er verbs have double vowels.  This means they have two vowels that sit right next to each other.

(ex: creer, leer, traer)

When finding the present participle of these verbs (present participles are the verb form that is used in the imperfect progressive tense), what letter does the i in -iendo change to?

y

The i must change to a y because there cannot be more than 2 vowels sitting next to each other in Spanish words.

 For example, if the i were not changed to a y, the present participle of the verb "leer" would look like "leiendo," which isn't allowed in Spanish grammar.  With the y, it looks like "leyendo," which is the correct present participle.

Find the present participle of the following verb (the present participle is the form of the verb used in the imperfect progressive tense):

traer

trayendo

An English example of a negative command is:  Do not eat cookies before dinner.

(Ex: poner becomes no pongas

añadir becomes no añadas)

g --> gu  (ex: pagar becomes no pagues)

z --> c  (ex: empezar becomes no empieces)
