The '-ando' Action
Think of '-ando' as the Spanish version of '-ing' in English. It describes an action that is happening right now when you use it with the verb 'estar' (to be).
Always the Same
The word 'mostrando' never changes its ending. It doesn't matter if a man or a woman is doing the showing, or if it's one person or many; it's always 'mostrando'.
The Stem-Change Trap
Mistake: “Using 'muestrando'.”
Correction: Use 'mostrando'. While the base verb changes to 'muestro' in some forms, the '-ando' form always stays with the letter 'o'.
