What about the ¨-yendo¨ ending?

Am I wrong, when I was studying Spanish in high school, I clearly remember there being -yendo so there are not so many vowels next to each other. Caer -- Cayendo / Creer -- Creyendo / Leer -- Leyendo and so on and so forth. Is that not correct?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Forming the present progressive/continuous in Spanish with estar + present participle (El Presente Progresivo)"

Hi Alexander - a number of Spanish verbs have -yendo as the ending of the present participle (which, when it is used as a noun like this is known as a 'gerund').

Here's a list:
