THE PROGRESSIVE PRESENT TENSE.

110. The compound tense formed by using the present active participle

with the present tense of "esti" is called the "progressive present

tense". It differs from the aoristic present by expressing an action

as definitely in progress, or a condition as continuously existing, at

the moment of speaking. The conjugation of "vidi" in this tense is as

follows:

mi estas vidanta, I am seeing.

vi estas vidanta, you are seeing.

li (sxi, gxi) estas vidanta, he (she, it) is seeing.

ni estas vidantaj, we are seeing.

vi estas vidantaj, you (plural) are seeing.

ili estas vidantaj, they are seeing.
