How to Conjugate… SPANISH VERBS

First, let’s review the subject pronouns. Singular Plural Person 1st 2nd 3rd nosotros m. we nosotras f. vosotros m. you vosotras f. ustedes you ellos m. they ellas f. yo I tú you usted you él he ella she "Usted" is used only when addressing someone formally. "Ustedes" is used when addressing a group of people (like the word "y'all")

Examples of a conjugation… Conjugate: To change a verb to show number, person, and tense (when/how). Examples of a conjugation… I run. You have. She walks. We are. You see. They speak.

Examples of an infinitive… The unconjugated form of the verb the “to” form of a verb: to run, to walk, to have Examples of an infinitive… I like to swim We want to walk She needs to study. They have to work

Verbs are classified by their infinitive. -AR verbs are verbs that end in –ar. Hablar, mirar. -ER verbs end in –er. Comer, beber. -IR verbs end in –ir. Vivir, ofrir. Types of verbs -IR

Let’s get started… Conjugating regular –AR verbs. To conjugate a regular –AR verb, one must first remove the –AR ending from the infinitive. This will leave you with the stem. Use the infinitive, hablar hablar – ar = habl habl is your stem

Add the regular –AR verb endings to your stem as a amos áis an infinitive – ending = stem hablar – ar = habl habl o as a habl amos áis an

These endings correspond with the following subject pronouns. Singular Plural Person 1st 2nd 3rd yo = o nosotros/as = amos tú = as vosotros/as = áis Ud. él = ella Uds. ellos = ellas a an Once the conjugation is applied, the subject pronoun is practically unnecessary. The conjugation tells us WHO does an action.

Memorization is the key to conjugating regular verbs in Spanish Regular –AR Verbs P u z z l e d Memorization is the key to conjugating regular verbs in Spanish

infinitive – ending = stem Once you have learned to conjugate one regular –AR verb… infinitive – ending = stem nadar – ar = nad nad o as a nad amos áis an …you can conjugate all regular –AR verbs.

infinitive – ending = stem One More Time... infinitive – ending = stem caminar – ar = camin camin o as a camin amos áis an

Now... cocinar – ar = cocin cocin o as a cocin amos áis an add your subject pronouns cocinar – ar = cocin cocin o as a cocin amos áis an nosotros/as vosotros/as Uds. ellos ellas yo tú Ud. él ella

Conjugating Spanish –AR verbs is like learning your 123’s and your ABC’s. Once you know the pattern, you can conjugate every regular –AR verb. Also, you can tell if it is 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person singular or plural.

We still have two more verbs: –ER and –IR. We’re not finished yet. Not any more! We still have two more verbs: –ER and –IR.

hablar – ar = habl comer – er = com vivir – ir = viv infinitive – ending = stem hablar – ar = habl comer – er = com One more time... vivir – ir = viv Now you know the pattern!

Now all you need are the endings… Once you know how to conjugate the regular –AR verb, conjugating –ER and –IR verbs are simple. -ER verbs are like –AR verbs. The only difference is the “A” and the “E”. -IR verbs are sister verbs to the –ER verbs. They share four of the same endings.

Here are the regular verb endings… Plural Singular -en -ís -imos -éis -emos -an -áis -amos -e -a 3rd -es -as 2nd -o 1st -IR -ER -AR Person

comer – er = com com o es e com emos éis en Get your pencil ready! yo Ud. él ella com o es e com emos éis en nosotros/as vosotros/as Uds. ellos ellas

vivir – ir = viv viv o es e viv imos ís en Don’t get tired yet, Now ready for the next step vivir – ir = viv viv o es e nosotros/as vosotros/as Uds. ellos ellas viv imos ís en yo tú Ud. él ella
