Spanish Present Progressive Irregular Spanish Verb Conjugation

As with all tenses, there are always irregulars and the doing verbs are no exception. The good thing is that the Spanish “doing verb” irregulars are a lot easier to learn.

Spanish mini-course

As mentioned in the Present tense section, the best way to learn the irregulars is to go over and over them until they begin to “sound” right when they’re conjugated correctly. In other words, if you go over and over them, you’ll get to the point where you don’t have to think about them; they’ll come naturally to you. Let’s take a look at the irregulars:
This first group all add a “y”.

Creer becomes Creyendo
Leer becomes Leyendo
Ir becomes Yendo
Destruir becomes Destruyendo
Incluir becomes Incluyendo
Oír becomes Oyendo
Traer becomes Trayendo
Caerse (a reflexive verb) becomes Cayéndose

This next group of Spanish irregulars are stem changers and change from “o” to “u”.

Morir becomes Muriendo
Dormir becomes Durmiendo

This final group of irregulars are also stem changers and change from “e” to “i”.

Pedir becomes Pidiendo
Seguir becomes Siguiendo
Conseguir becomes Consiguiendo
Repetir becomes Repitiendo
Servir becomes Sirviendo
Sentir becomes Sintiendo
Preferir becomes Prefiriendo
Requerir becomes Requiriendo
Venir becomes Viniendo
Decir becomes Diciendo

And now a few reflexives in the same group:

Vestirse becomes Vistiéndose
Despedirse becomes Despidiéndose
Sentirse becomes Sintiéndose
Divertirse becomes Divirtiéndose

Before you go on to the Spanish practice session, there are a few new vocabulary words to go over. Here they are:

the book el libro
sick enfermo
The problem El problema
The door La puerta
The window La ventana

As you go on to the practice session, watch for the irregular doing verbs. Remember, some are stem changers that go from “e” to “i”, some change from “o” to “u” and some add a “y”. Also, remember that as you listen to them over and over, they’ll start sounding more “natural” to you.
