Overview
In both English and Spanish we use present progressive tense to express what someone is doing. In English we add (ing) to the end of a verb. In Spanish we use the correct form of the verb estar followed by the present tense of another verb.
Completing this module will help you:

You should receive a copy of this worksheet with your school things. However, if you don’t get it or loose it, you may print one out from here.
Find 5 pictures and put them on the Canva on Schoology. They can be your pictures or ones that you find on the internet. Once you have found your pictures and put them on the Canva, write 2 sentences for each picture. The first sentence needs to utilize what we learned in module 5.2 (estar with conditions and emotions). The second sentence needs to reflect what we are doing in this module5.3 Present Progressive (what they are doing). You will be turning this in on Schoology. Make sure to use a variety of adjectives and verbs rather than the same ones over and over again.
For example, if I refer to the picture below the learning path and talk about Sr. Morales.
- (5.2 Adjectives)El hombre está cansado.
- (5.3 Present progressive) El hombre está descansando en la playa.
