¡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
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?
