Questions & Answers about Sigo editando la presentación porque el proyector falla a veces.

Why is it seguir + gerund (sigo editando) and not seguir + infinitive (sigo editar)?

In Spanish, you express “keep/continue doing” with seguir + gerundio. So sigo editando = I keep editing / I’m still editing. Seguir + infinitive doesn’t work for this meaning.

Can I just say estoy editando instead? What’s the difference?

Estoy editando states what you’re doing right now. Sigo editando adds the idea of continuation/persistence (you were doing it before and you’re still at it). If you want “still” with the progressive, say todavía estoy editando.

Could I use todavía or aún instead of seguir?

Yes:

• Todavía/Aún estoy editando la presentación = I’m still editing (focus on “still”).
• Sigo editando la presentación = I keep/continue editing (focus on ongoing continuation). Both are natural; seguir can feel a bit more deliberate.

Where is the subject pronoun yo? Is it required?

Spanish normally drops subject pronouns because the verb ending shows the subject. Sigo already means “I continue.” Use Yo sigo… only for emphasis or contrast.

How do I place the direct object pronoun for la presentación?
