In order to form the present progressive, you must know how to conjugate the verb estar, and how to form the present participle. You already know how to conjugate the verb estar:

Sometimes it’s necessary to change the spelling so it agrees with the way it is pronounced. We call this an "orthographic" change. Here are some common examples:
caer: cayendocreer: creyendo

It is important to remember that you would never use the present progressive to say something like "We are going to Spain this summer."
Use present progressive only for actions that are "in progress."
