The verb 'seguir' is a bit tricky. In many forms, like 'sigo' (I follow) and 'sigue' (he/she follows), the 'e' in the stem changes to an 'i'. But notice it doesn't change for 'nosotros' (seguimos)!

The 'e' to 'i' Vowel Change

Extremely common. One of the first meanings you'll learn.

Using the wrong verb form after 'sigue'

A super useful pattern is 'seguir' + a verb ending in '-ando' or '-iendo'. For example, 'sigue hablando' means 'he keeps on talking'. It's the Spanish way of saying an action is continuing.

Saying 'Keep on doing something'

Extremely common, especially for talking about ongoing actions.

While you can use 'todavía' (still), it's very natural to use 'seguir' + an adjective or description. 'Él está enfermo' means 'He is sick'. 'Él sigue enfermo' means 'He is *still* sick'.

Saying 'Still' in Spanish

Instead of saying 'Todavía está lloviendo', try 'Sigue lloviendo'. It often sounds more fluid and natural to native speakers for ongoing actions or states.

A more natural 'still'

Very common for talking about a state that hasn't changed.

Confusing with other forms

'Sigue' is the command form you use with friends or people you call 'tú'. It's used to tell someone directly to do something, like giving directions.

Giving Commands with 'tú'

Essential for giving directions, instructions, or encouragement.
