Learning Target We are learning to conjugate –ar verbs. Success Criteria I can identify what an –ar verb is and how to conjugate it.

Write the English. Yo Tú Él Ella Usted Nosotros Ellos Ellas Ustedes I You (familiar) He, It (m.) She, It (f.) You (polite) We They (m. &f .) They (fem.) You (plural)

Los verbos There are three types of verbs in Spanish: -ar verbs -er verbs -ir verbs How do you know whether a verb is an –ar verb, -er verb or –ir verb? Simply look at the end of the infinitive. The last two letters of the infinitive will classify the verb for you!

Unos ejemplos Hablar (to talk) Vivir (to live) Cantar (to sing) Comer (to eat) Estudiar (to study) Escribir (to write) Leer (to read)

-AR Verbs We will begin our study of –ar verbs today. By following a few easy steps, we can easily conjugate an –ar verb for any subject.

–ar verbs in the present tense 1. Take an –ar verb How about comprar (to buy)? 2. Chop off the –ar to get the stem comprar The stem is: compr 3. Take the stem and add the endings (Yo) compro (Tú) compras (Él/Ella) compra (Usted) compra (Nosotros) compramos (Nosotras) compramos (Ellos/Ellas) compran (Ustedes) compran

(Ellos/Ellas, Ustedes) compran (Nosotros, Nosotras) compramos (Él/Ella,) compra (Tú) compras (Usted) compra (Yo) compro compr (Ellos/Ellas, Ustedes) compran Comprar-to buy

–ar verbs in the present tense (another way of looking at it is here) subject + stem + ending I You (fam.) He/she, You (form.) We You (pl) They Yo Tú Él/Ella, Usted Nosotros, Nosotras Ustedes Ellos/Ellas Take off the –ar For example: hablar stem=habl - o - as - a - amos - an + + In Spanish, you don’t usually use the subject. The verb ending tells you who is doing an action so it’s REALLY important to get the ending right!

Yo compro un bocadillo.

Tú compras una pizza.
