- Learn Spanish Tenses: Actions that are happening currently. In this video, I will teach you to how to express actions that are happening at the time you are speaking. You will learn that the present simple in Spanish is not used to express an action that is happening at the moment you are speaking. Instead, you will need a combination of verbs: the verb “to be” -- “estar”, and your actual action. Por ejemplo, “I am running” -- “estoy corriendo”, “I am cooking” -- “estoy cocinando”, “I am thinking” -- “estoy pensando”. I am doing all those things while saying I am doing all those things. You will learn how to build this tense. In fact, it is a combination of Spanish verbs and it is usually called the Spanish gerund, gerundio. You will soon see that this Spanish verb combination tense is simpler than you think. Spanish verbs always end with either “ar”, “er”, or “ir”. These are the three conjugations. They are always referred to as first conjugation -- “primera conjugación”, “ar”; second conjugation -- “segunda conjugación”, “er”; third conjugation -- “tercera conjugación”, “ir”. Place the first conjugation in one jar. Take the second and third conjugations and place them together in another jar. Why? Well because the second and third are BFFs, and do not like the first conjugation because the first conjugation in Spanish is a snob. In fact, they hang out with different people: "ar" hangs out with “ando”. The others, “er” and “ir” go out with “iendo”. Do you want to know where, how, and why the verbs that end with “ar”, “er”,
“ir” in Spanish hang out with “ando” and “iendo”? Then watch this lesson!

Muchas gracias y nos vemos la próxima semana,

Your passion for being an excellent professor shines through in your videos .
Was thinking the same. I watched a video from another channel explaining the same things and using identical examples and found myself quite literally falling asleep. She keeps me engaged in so thankful!
I love the way you teach!!! This kind of reinforcement helps me remember soooo much! Thank you!
"Gotta make sense. Gotta have a context".
True. Thank you for giving us the context. That's what makes your videos so good.
"throw it...step on it!" lmao
me too. i couldn't help but laugh
Echar y piso
Nosotros en italiano también lo llamamos "gerundio" y es muy similar:
camminare (caminar) = camminando
vedere (ver) = vedendo
dormire (dormir) = dormendo
Muchas gracias Anna... I love the way you teach...
I love how easily you integrate your "mistakes" into the fabric of the lesson, I'm both learning and laughing like a hyena at the same time.
Thank you so much for your videos! I am trying learning Spanish on my own and they are so helpful. You're a great instructor
estoy viendo tu vídeo y leyendo los comentarios :D
You're one of the best teachers I've ever encountered.
Step on it guys!
I love Spanish because of how intrinsically transparent the language is formatted. In English, you can be vague and avoid telling details by saying “my friend” but in Spanish because of the way the language is structured, you tell more details about the person. “Mi amigo” is my guy friend. Same with this video about present tense.
You know you got a following when there are more than 6000 views in 20 hours for a language teacher. Wow! You rock, Anna!
Thank you for your passion and drive to teach us Spanish Ana! God Bless!
You are simply wonderful! Thanks for all the best lessons.
Thank you Anna. You have a true Latin spirit, so animated and inspiring.
