Question

A form of ‘estar' is most often used as a helping verb in the progressive tense. Question 15 options: 1) True 2) False

Answer 1

Answer:

The right option to the affirmation: "A form of ‘estar' is most often used as a helping verb in the progressive tense" is:

1. True.

Explanation:

In order to explain the following, we are going to focus on a Progressive Tense form: the Affirmative form, the affirmative form of progressive tense regularly has the following structure:

• Noun / be verb / verb ending in "ing" / complement.

This structure is identical in Spanish, only that translated would be:

• Sustantivo/ verbo "estar"/verbo terminado en "ando-endo"/complemento.

With which, to use the verb as support, you must know the possible conjugations depending on the personal pronoun, which I present below in Present:

• Yo estoy.
• Tú estás.
• Usted está.
• Él está.
• Ella está.
• Ello está.
• Nosotros estamos.
• Ustedes están.
• Ello están.

Having these conjugations in mind you can make sentences such as:

1. Yo estoy comiendo en el restaurante.
2. Ella está comprando ropa.
3. Ustedes están visitando a sus familiares.

Which translate to English:

1. I am eating in the restaurant.
2. She is buying clothes.
3. You are visiting your relatives.
