💡 Grammar Points

Seguir + Gerund

Use 'seguimos' followed by a verb ending in -ando or -iendo (the gerund) to mean 'we are still doing something' or 'we keep doing something.' This emphasizes the ongoing nature of the action.

Pronunciation Tip

The 'gu' sound in 'seguimos' is hard, like the 'g' in 'go.' The 'u' is silent here, unlike in words like 'agüita'.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Mixing up the 'We' forms

Mistake: "Using *sigamos* when you mean *seguimos*."

Correction: *Seguimos* is for stating facts ('We continue'). *Sigamos* is for wishes or suggestions ('Let's continue').

The ducklings seguimos (we follow) our mother wherever she goes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 'seguimos' sound like 'we continue' and not just 'we follow'?

'Seguir' is a versatile verb. While its original meaning is 'to follow,' it is most frequently used today as an auxiliary verb, meaning 'to continue' or 'to keep on doing.' Think of it as 'We follow the action of doing X.'

Is 'seguimos' irregular?

Yes, the verb *seguir* is irregular. However, the 'nosotros' form ('seguimos') looks regular in the present tense. The irregularity (e becomes i, like in *sigo* or *sigues*) skips the 'nosotros' and 'vosotros' forms.
