How do you conjugate construir in present progressive?

Here's how to conjugate "construir" (to build) in the present progressive tense in Spanish:

Present Progressive (Gerundio)

* Yo estoy construyendo (I am building)

* estás construyendo (You are building)

* Él/Ella/Usted está construyendo (He/She/You [formal] is building)

* Nosotros/Nosotras estamos construyendo (We are building)

* Vosotros/Vosotras estáis construyendo (You [plural, informal] are building)

* Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes están construyendo (They/You [plural, formal] are building)

Key points:

* The present progressive uses the present tense of the verb "estar" (to be) followed by the gerund (present participle) of the verb "construir", which is "construyendo".

* The gerund is formed by adding "-ando" or "-iendo" to the stem of the verb, depending on the verb's ending. In the case of "construir", the ending is "-yendo".
