We use the present tense of the verb “estar” followed by the “gerundio” to talk about actions in progress, or actions that are currently happening. Besides “estar”, we can use the following verbs with the “gerundio”: “llevar” (to take), “seguir” (to follow) and “continuar” (to carry on). You will notice that the meaning of these verbs changes when they are combined with the “gerundio”
