Learn Spanish with Spanishpod101.com! Welcome back to Spain with Megan and David. Looks like another one is about to bite the dust. As Pablo swears to Carmen he will make her happy, our Iberian connection manages to fit in a look at the use of the gerund with the verb “ir” (to go), instead of the usual estar + gerund construction, which forms the majority of progressive tense expressions. What was all that? Well, there is only one place that you can find out. That’s right! The grammar bank in the learning center.

Thanks to Kevin Macleod for the music in today’s lesson.
Here we saw saw expression in the gerund with verbs other than “estar” which is the most common.
Are there any questions about the formation of the gerund (progressive) tense… or any other examples of expressions with verbs other than “estar”???
