Show transcript
To form the present continuous, use 'estar' and a verb in the present participle (-ando, -iendo). In Spanish, there are two ways to say ‘to be’. Use ser with permanent traits and estar with location, states and moods. Extended reading texts can be exploited to enrich our thematic vocabulary and use of complex structures. It is important to communicate accurately but also to include varied and complex language. It is helpful to reference popular customs and celebrations in different Hispanic countries in this topic.
