The present participle- gerundio- (="ing" in English) is easy to work with and only has a few idiosyncrasies. First let's look at how it is formed.

Rule #1: Work from the infinitive and the gerundio form NEVER changes- for anything. Ever. Honest. There will be no more rules.

• AR verbs- Drop AR and add ANDO. hablar> hablando, trabajar> trabajando

• ER & IR verbs- Drop ER/IR and add IENDO: comer> comiendo, escribir>escribiendo, etc.

Are there any "weird" or irregular verbs? Of course, but they are all logical, so it should be easy to remember the changes.

Stem Changing Verbs

Only IR verbs change, and the change is either E>I or O>U. AR & ER verbs don't have a stem change in the gerundio. Let's look at some examples:

• seguir (e>i): siguiendo
• dormir (o>ue): durmiendo
• mentir (e>ie): mintiendo
• contar (o>ue): contando
• perder (e>ie): perdiendo

"Y" verbs

When you have a verb ending in a vowel +ER/IR, change the I in IENDO to Y. It looks better and sounds better. You've done this before. Do you remember the tense? Look at the examples:

• leer>leyendo
• caer>cayendo
• huir>huyendo

Impress me. Why didn't "seguir" change? (In previous section) It fits the rule, doesn't it?...Or does it?????

Two other things:
IR changes to yendo. "IENDO" doesn't look like a word.
PODER > pudiendo. It sounds better than "podiendo".
