Happening Now








In this chapter you'll learn how to ask someone to do something for you.  You'll also learn the past tense, so that you can tell your friends what you did ayer, la semana pasada, o en las últimas vacaciones.

You'll also learn how to stress that something is happening right now. To do this you'll learn the -ing form in Spanish, which is also called the present progressive.  You'll also learn to text in Spanish and explore a culturally and geographically diverse country, Chile.
