what's the correct form of estar before each answer?
To fill in the blanks with the correct present progressive form of the verb in parentheses, you need to conjugate the verbs in the present progressive tense.
1. (recibir) La señorita Pinto está recibiendo muchos documentos.
To form the present progressive tense in Spanish, use the conjugated form of the verb estar (to be) followed by the gerundio (the -ando or -iendo form of the verb).
2. (pagar) Ella está pagando la Puente.
Again, use estar followed by the gerundio form of the verb pagar (to pay).
3. (vivir) Yo estoy viviendo en esa ciudad.
For the verb vivir (to live), conjugate estar in the first person singular (yo) and add the gerundio form of vivir.
4. (beber) Tú estás bebiendo un chocolate caliente.
Conjugate estar in the second person singular (tú) and add the gerundio form of beber (to drink).
5. (pasar) Nosotros estamos pasando por el parque.
Conjugate estar in the first person plural (nosotros) and add the gerundio form of pasar (to pass).
Remember that the present progressive tense in Spanish is formed by using the present tense of the verb estar followed by the gerundio form of the main verb.
