¡Estoy diciendo la verdad!
We’ve already seen how to add ‑iendo to ‑er and ‑ir verbs when referring to something you are doing right now.
Yo estoy comiendo.I am eating.
But for some verbs, the spelling gets a little funky when you do this.
| decir | diciendo |
|---|---|
| pedir | pidiendo |
| dormir | durmiendo |
| morir | muriendo |
| ir | yendo |
| oír | oyendo |
| traer | trayendo |
¡Pide más!
Hungry? You’ve already seen that you can use pedir to order food.
Quiero pedir un plato vegetariano.I want to order a vegetarian dish.
Pedir can also mean to ask for. So don’t be shy, ask for more!
¿Vas a pedir más dinero?Are you going to ask for more money?
