The participle form "agotando" can be used in both literal and figurative contexts, such as describing a person who is mentally or physically drained.

In Spanish grammar, participles like "agotando" can also appear in compound tenses, such as the present continuous (e.g., "estoy agotando mis fuerzas," meaning "I am exhausting my strength"). This form emphasizes the ongoing nature of the action.
