How to Say "to continue" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “to continue” is “seguir” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Si sigues trabajando así, tendrás mucho éxito.
If you keep working like this, you'll be very successful.
La fiesta siguió hasta las cinco de la mañana.
The party continued until five in the morning.
Perdón por la interrupción, por favor, sigue.
Sorry for the interruption, please, continue.
The 'Keep Doing' Formula
A super useful pattern is 'seguir + [verb in -ando/-iendo form]'. It's the most natural way to say you 'keep doing' something. For example, 'Sigo pensando en ello' means 'I keep thinking about it'.
Using the Wrong Verb Form
Mistake: “Sigo a estudiar mucho.”
Correction: Sigo estudiando mucho. After 'seguir' (when it means 'to keep doing'), you need the '-ando' or '-iendo' form of the next verb, not its basic form.
