The "Keep Doing Something" Formula

To say you 'keep doing' something, Spanish has a super useful pattern: seguir + [verb ending in -ando or -iendo]. For example, 'You keep talking' is Sigues hablando.

Forgetting the Stem Change

Mistake:Sometimes learners say 'seguies' because the base verb is `seguir`.

Correction: Remember that `seguir` is a 'boot verb'. The 'e' changes to 'i' for most present tense forms, like `sigo`, `sigues`, `sigue`. The `nosotros` (we) form stays normal: `seguimos`.
