Muuji qoraalka
The sound symbol correspondence [ce] is pronounced as in the word 'centro' and [ci] as in the word 'decir'. The simple present of -ar verbs is used to talk about habits and routines, e.g. 'trabajo', 'trabajas', 'trabaja'. The present continuous is used to talk about actions happening now. The present continuous of -ar verbs is formed with the verb 'estar' ('estoy', 'está', 'está') + -ando. Sometimes we use adverbs of time to indicate clearly if the action we refer to is a habit or it is happening now.
