Learn Spanish Tenses: Actions that started in the past and continue in the present in Spanish!

- In this Spanish lesson I will teach you how to express an action that you started in the past, and continue to do in the present. In English, to make this type of sentence you use the present perfect continuous: I have been waiting; He has been speaking, and so on. But to express this same sense in Spanish, you need to know a grammatical formula that consists of the verb “llevar” (to bring, to carry) in present, and a second verb in gerund, “hablando” (talking), “esperando” (waiting), “buscando” (searching), and so on. After watching this lesson, you will know how to say sentences such as: We have been cooking for hours - "Llevo horas cocinando"; We have been waiting for a long time - "Llevo mucho tiempo esperando"; She has been teaching Spanish for 10 years - "Lleva diez años enseñando español"; I have been learning Spanish for months - "Llevo meses aprendiendo español". The grammatical Spanish structure I teach you in this lesson is widely used among native Spanish speakers because it is very practical, easy to use, and comes in handy in many contexts.
Moreover, in this Spanish lesson you will learn so much more than a formula. You will learn what a gerund is, how to make a gerund, and when to use a gerund in Spanish. And gerunds are very important! In short, in English the "ing" that you add to verbs: study (studying), wait (waiting), turn the verbs into gerunds. In Spanish you add the ending “ando” to verbs that end with AR; and add “iendo” to verbs that end with “ER” and “IR”. So, think how important it is that you learn this topic. You will learn how to make this “ing” in Spanish with regular and irregular verbs. You will also learn a lot more because my real-life sentences that I have given you to learn this topic are taken from contexts that are current and real and that that will enhance, improve, strengthen your Spanish vocabulary, and Spanish grammar.

Me gustó su acento mientras explicando “vosotros”. Es buenísima maestra de español y muy divertida.
I love that she sets out a *formula*. Memorize those, and it's so much easier to make sentences in the moment, to think in Spanish.
You need to be Teaching at HARVARD....You are such a Great Teacher...

This method simplifies a sentence like, “He estado estudiando español por cinco años.” Now i can say, “Llevo cinco años estudiando español.” Thank you for the tip!

"Este tema"
@@renatolinares6007 Ay, que verguenza! 😁
Gracias. I like how you are talking more in Spanish. I learn a lot from you.
Hola Ana! I watch your videos from the EU. I live in Hungary and I would like to live in Spain. So these specific spanish verbs, words ... helps me a lot. And I think there are many people who watch you from the EU because you teach in a good and understandable way.
Muchas Gracias!
Be careful though as she teaches a more Mexican Spanish and in Spain they speak a little differently and even have a conjugation that most Latin Americans and Hispanics DONT use. Also S is pronounced differently (th sound)
So do be aware of those differences and more when learning Spanish if ur goal is to speak the classical Castillian Spanish instead of New World Mexican Spanish.
She does teach vosotros though which is GREAT
Yeah I know. There are a lot of different. (Coche-carro, jugo-zumo, usar-llevar.....) I use Duolingo and that is the same... But it's good for practice next to a teacher.
Btw I watch a lot of spanish movies on netflix. For me the accent is similar like USA vs UK english.
Love the use of a whiteboard instead of a computer screen. No energy needed apart from your brilliant enthusiasm Ana !
¡Que lección! Tu eres la maestra mejor!
You mean la mejor maestra.
She's my favorite Spanish teacher - so energetic, enthusiastic and clear
You help me a lot. Thank you! :) I never skip the ad!!!! Love you
Ana tu esta a buen hablo ispanol.Muchas gracious ana...

Eres la mejora! Estupendo!
MUCHAS GRACIAS 💌🕊️☑️

I discovered some spanish singers and they were all great. I am trying to sing the songs but I found it hard 'coz it's in Spanish language. To better understand the lyrics, I started watching videos related to speaking spanish, and I found your channel the most comprehensive one. You give very detailed explanation.
Muchisimas gracias.
