Use "ing" in a Sentence
(Utilice "ing" en una oración)
In English, present progressive "ing" verbs are used when we want to express an action that
is happening at the moment. Importantly, we use the "to be" verbs between the subject and
the verb with "ing" to express the action happening at the moment, for example: (En Inglés,
presente progresivo "ing" verbos se usan cuando queremos expresar una acción que está
sucediendo en este momento. Es importante destacar que, utilizamos el "ser" verbos entre el
sujeto y el verbo con "ing" para expresar la acción sucediendo en este momento, por
ejemplo:) I am walking. (Estoy caminando.)

"S" Pronunciation
("S" de pronunciaciones)
CC
In English, when you pronounce words beginning with "s", you need to be careful not to
create an "e" before you pronounce the "s". For example, in Spanish the word España
contains an "e" before the "s", but Spain does not contain "e" before the "s". Therefore in
order to issue the correct sound, think super or Saturday and remember the sound. (En
Inglés, cuando pronuncia las palabras que comienzan con "s", es necesario tener cuidado de
no crear una "e" antes de que se pronuncia la "s". Por ejemplo, en español la palabra
España contiene una "e" antes de la "s", pero España no contiene "e" antes de la "s". Por lo
tanto, a fin de emitir el sonido correcto, pensar súper o sábado y recordar el sonido.)
