The 'Is Doing' Form
You use 'siguiendo' with the verb 'estar' (to be) to describe an action that is happening right at this moment or is ongoing: 'estoy siguiendo' (I am following).
Stem Change Reminder
The base verb 'seguir' (to follow) changes its 'e' to an 'i' when forming the gerund, which is why it becomes 'siguiendo' (e.g., 'pedir' becomes 'pidiendo').
Incorrect Gerund Form
Mistake: “Estamos *seguendo* el mapa.”
Correction: Estamos *siguiendo* el mapa. Remember the e-to-i spelling change for 'seguir' in this form.
