La soy profe cronister. Let's talk about how to use the present progressive tense with reflexive verbs. We use the present progressive in Spanish to say that something is happening right now. And it's very similar to I&G ending in English. Before watching this video, you might want to review the video on reflexive verbs. I use a lot of vocab from that video in this one. Why do we need to use this tense? First, we need the verb estar. We also need either an ar, ar or ar verb. And finally, the present progressive endings endo or yendo. Let's look at some examples of non reflexive verbs first. Let's use the ar verb comer to say she is eating. First, we conjugate estar, drop the ar ending off of comer, and add the yendo ending, which gives us esta comiendo. She is eating right now. Feel free to pause the video to review if you need it. Staying with ar verbs, we have a career to run. It follows the same rules, but let's say that I am running this time. Well, we conjugate estar, drop off the ending of career, and add yendo, which gives us estoi corriendo. I am running right now. Let's try an ar verb estcuchar, and let's say that he is listening. Same formula with a minor change. We still conjugate estar, but now we only need to drop the ar from the verb and add the endo, which gives us esta estcuchando. He is listening right now. Our last ar verb is a blar to talk. Pause the video. See if you can figure out how to say they are talking. Hopefully you conjugated estar into estan, drop to the ar from a blar, and add it in endo to give you estan a blando. So the general rule for using the present progressive is that you need a form of estar, estoi, estas, esta, estamos, estan, estais, if you're in Spain, and add an ar, ar, ar, ar verb, drop the ar from the ar verb, and add the endo ending, or drop the ar, ar, ending, and add yendo. This is the present progressive, and it means I, you, he, she, it, we, they, or y'all are doing something right now. Now using the present progressive with reflexive verbs follows the same rules. We just need to know where to put the reflexive pronouns, the me, te, se, nos, and the plural say. Let's look at some reflexive verbs. Banyarse to bathe oneself, levantarse to lift oneself or to get up, labarse to wash oneself, sepe yarse to brush oneself hair or teeth usually, and sacarse to dry oneself. Step one, remove this se and conjugate the verb into the I and G ending. This gives us banyando, levantando, labando, sepe yando, en secando. Staying with banyarse, step two is to conjugate the correct form of a star. Now this gives us, yo estoy banyando, tú estás banyando, el ella usted está banyando. Nosotros estamos banyando, en ellos, ellas, ustedes están banyando. Now the final step is putting the reflexive pronouns back and you have two options. The first option is to put one before the form of a star. This would give us, me, estoy banyando, te estás banyando, se está banyando, nos estamos banyando and se están banyando. Option two is to put the reflexive pronoun at the end of the conjugated verb. This gives us, es tuy banyándome, estás banyando, te está banyando, se estamos banyando, nos and están banyando, se. Now if you're going to do it this way, the A gets an accent. I really can't say that one way is more common than the other, it's just a matter of personal preference. We're going to practice with four AR and three IR verbs. Remember the order, reflexive pronoun, conjugated form of a star, and then the verb with the present progressive ending. Or the second way is to add the reflexive pronoun to the end of the verb instead. Let's start with a fe d'arse to shave oneself. Conjugate it using the pronoun L to say that he is shaving himself. The steps are in blue, pause the video if you need time to work it out. Did you get L se está afetando? Or está afetándose? Next is banyarse, which means to bathe oneself or to take a bath. Conjugate using the pronoun Aya to say she is bathing herself. The steps are listed in blue if you need them. Feel free to pause the video for extra time. Well, did you get Aya se está banyando? Or Aya está banyándose? Now levantar means to train oneself, like working out. Conjugate using the pronoun Yo to say I train myself. Use the guide and pause button if you need it. Did you get Yo me a soy entrenando? Or as soy entrenando me? Well, let's try the next one. The last Aya verb is du charse to shower oneself. Conjugate using the pronoun two to say that you are showering and use the guide if you need it. Did you get Te estas du chando? Or estas du chandote? Now these Aya verbs are irregular. So even though we can conjugate them using the present progressive rules, we need to make a small change. Best dirse has an e to i change and dormirse has an o to u change. Pause the video and see if you can conjugate them using a yos for best dirse and no so throws for dormirse. Use the guidelines in blue if you need help. Did you get the answer shown below? Did you see the stem change? Best dirse changed to be stando and dormirse changed to dormiendo. Let's give the last one a shot. Sentirse is an irregular verb and it means to feel. Conjugate this with the pronoun yos to say I am feeling. Pause the video so you have time to figure it out. Okay, did you get me a soy sentiendo? Or a soy sentiendo me?
