💡 Grammar Points
The '-ando' Ending
This word is a 'gerund,' which is just a fancy way of saying it's the '-ing' form of the verb. In Spanish, '-ar' verbs change their ending to '-ando' to show an action is in progress.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using it as a Noun
Mistake: "Using 'causando' to mean 'the causing of something.'"
Correction: In Spanish, we use the noun 'la causa' or the infinitive 'causar' instead. For example, say 'Causar problemas es malo' not 'Causando problemas es malo'.
⭐ Usage Tips
Pair it with 'Estar'
To say someone 'is causing' something right now, always use a form of 'estar' (to be) before 'causando'.
