Estudiando violín

I put "estudio violín" and it was corrected to "estoy estudiano violín". Don't they both work? I thought present progressive tense meant the speaker was studying violin right at that moment?

Un comentario

Esto me encontré muy interesante. Vivía en España, en Valencia, durante el año escolar 1973-74. Sabía que Franco estaba enfermo y no tenía mucho tiempo. Me gusta mucho entender lo que pasó después que volví a EE.UU. No había tantos noticias en nuestra país sobre lo que pasaba en España. Gracias para esto video. Es importante que nosotros aprendamos de la historia.

Why the pronomial verb here?Juan no ha llegado todavía. Igual se ha quedado dormido.Juan hasn't arrived yet. Maybe he overslept.Hi, I’m confused about se ha quedado dormido. The lesson on dormir/dormirse, quedarse dormido says the pronomial means to fall asleep or suddenly fall asleep. Thanks,Shirley.

Casar vs casarseSi Cristina ________, habría sido muy infeliz. If Cristina had married him, she would have been very unhappy.se hubiera casado con él

Why is hubiera casado con él wrong? The English doesn’t say “if she had gotten married to him”
Thanks, Shirley

When is verb following "soler" conjugated?

All the examples use an infinitive after "soler," but in the first test question, the verb following "soler" is conjugated. How do we know when to conjugate the verb after a conjugated "soler?"
