Section 2: Regular Verbs in General

Regular Verbs: How do they work? To conjugate a regular verb, you need 2 things 1. Stem (based on the verb itself) 2. Endings (based on the type of verb and verb tense)

What is a stem? Non-conjugated verb (aka: infinitive) is the form you find in vocabulary lists, the dictionary, etc. All non-conjugated verbs end in one of three letter pairs: AR, ER, or IR The non-conjugated verb [minus] the two letters at the end [equals] the stem. HABLAR – AR = HABL- MIRAR – AR = MIR- Stems are usually written with a hyphen at the end to show that something needs to be added.
