Questions & Answers about No estoy pintando, estoy barriendo.
Why does one action word end in -ando and the other in -iendo?
It depends on the ending of the original verb! Pintando comes from pintar (to paint), which is an -ar verb, so we drop the -ar and add -ando. Barriendo comes from barrer (to sweep), which is an -er verb, so we drop the -er and add -iendo.
