Riendo vs riéndose
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Forming the progressive imperfect with estar + present participle (El Imperfecto progresivo/continuo)"

Hola Elias
For the given sentence "Ellos __ mucho." (They were laughing a lot), you are asked to conjugate "reír" in the Imperfect Progressive/Continuous form.
The correct answer is "estaban riendo". However, the reflexive form "riéndose" is also grammatically correct and commonly used, so "estaban riéndose" is also acceptable.
Apologies for the late reply, and thank you for your patience.
Saludos
Silvia
