Question

A Spanish present participle can be formed by adding what ending to the verb’s stem to create the equivalent of -ing? (Check all that apply)

-ondo

-iendo

-endo

-ando

Answer 1

Correct answers: -iendo and -ando.

Explanation: Spanish gerunds are formed with -ando for -ar verbs (hablar → hablando) and -iendo for -er/-ir verbs (comer → comiendo, vivir → viviendo). The endings -ondo and -endo are not used in standard Spanish (-endo appears in Portuguese gerunds, not Spanish).
