In our previous post here, we discussed how to form present participles in Spanish verbs. However today, we will show you some common irregular present participles in Spanish. Now these Spanish verbs are called irregular because when conjugated, they are formed a little different than the typical way we form the present participles. See a few below that I thought you might consider:

1. vestirse – to dress oneself  – vistiendose
2. vestir – to dress – vistiendo
3. venir – to come – viniendo
4. traer – to bring – trayendo
5. servir – to servir – sirviendo
6. seguir – to follow – siguiendo
7. repetir – to repeat – repitiendo
8. reír– to laugh – riendo
9. poder – to be able – pudiendo
10. pedir – to ask (for) or to request something – pidiendo
11. oír– to hear – oyendo
12. morir – to die – muriendo
13. mentir – to lie – mintiendo
14. leer – to read – leyendo
15. ir – to go – yendo
16. huir – to flee – huyendo
17. dormir – to sleep – durmiendo
18. divertirse – to enjoy oneself – divirtiendose
19. destruir – to destroy – destruyendo
20. decir – to say – diciendo

Keep in mind that these are just a few of the many irregular Spanish verbs that deviate from the typical dropping of the tails ar, er, and ir and adding the ando, iendo, iendo endings to infinitives.
