Explanation:

Present Progressive of Dormir

We use the present progressive to talk about what someone is doing at the very moment of speaking. So use this tense to say that someone is sleeping now.

To form the present progressive, we conjugate the verb estar in the present and we add the present participle of dormir, which is durmiendo. Notice the change in the stem vowel from o to u!

The good news is that the second part doesn't change, so you only need to conjugate the first one. Take a look at the result:

VERB: dormir (dohr-MEER) - to sleep

PronounPresent ProgressivePronunciationTranslation

yoestoy durmiendo(ehs-TOY door-MYEHN-doh)I am sleeping

túestás durmiendo(ehs-TAHS door-MYEHN-doh)you are sleeping

él/ella

ustedestá durmiendo(ehs-TAH door-MYEHN-doh)he/she is sleeping

you (formal) are sleeping

Note: Only Spaniards use the form vosotros/as when addressing a group of people in an informal situation. In the rest of the Spanish-speaking countries, everyone uses the form ustedes.
