The Progressive forms of tenses

(1) In Spanish, there are progressive forms of tenses. They are the Progressive Present and the
Progressive Past.

(2) The Progressive Present is formed by using estar in the present tense plus the present participle
of your main verb; e.g., Estoy hablando/I am talking, i.e., I am (in the act of) talking (right now). Here
is how you would form the progressive present of hablar (to talk) using estar in the present tense
plus the present participle of hablar:

estoy hablando estamos hablando

estás hablando estáis hablando

está hablando están hablando
