Question

write sentences to say what the people are doing, based on what they have or where they are. use the present progressive. follow the model. modelo el profesor está en la clase. está enseñando. 1. tengo una patineta. 2. los niños están en la cama. 3. cecilia tiene una tabla de surf. 4. tenemos una pelota de fútbol. 5. tienes un cuaderno y una pluma. 6. ustedes están en la cafetería. 7. ricardo tiene un libro. 8. tú y yo estamos en la piscina.

Explanation:

1.

The subject is "yo" (implied by "tengo"), and with a skateboard ("patineta"), the logical action is skateboarding. The present progressive for "yo" is "estoy + gerund". "Patinar" (to skate) becomes "patinando".

The kids ("los niños") are in bed ("en la cama"), so the logical action is sleeping. The present progressive for "ellos" (los niños) is "están + gerund". "Dormir" (to sleep) becomes "durmiendo".

Cecilia has a surfboard ("tabla de surf"), so the action is surfing. The present progressive for "ella" (Cecilia) is "está + gerund". "Surfear" (to surf) becomes "surfeando".

Answer:

Estoy patinando.
