Answer:

To express a continuing or ongoing present action in Spanish you will follow this pattern for most regular verbs:

First of all you will need estar in El Presente:

yo estoy

tú estás

él / ella / Ud. está

nosotros/nosotras

estamos

vosotros /vosotras

estáis

ellos / ellas / Uds. están

And then:

Estar in El Presente + -ando (-AR verbs)

-iendo (-ER and -IR verbs)

hablar → habl- = hablando

correr → corr- = corriendo

Step-by-step explanation:

Yo estoy hablando con mi madre.

I am talking with my mother.
