Stem-Changing Verbs

 Present tense is used to describe actions that occur in the Present  I run  I am running  I do run  Do I run?  Every verb in Spanish has a stem followed by an ending.  The stem is everything before the ending and tells the verb’s meaning. The ending in Spanish can tell you who is the subject. The infinitive ending doesn’t name a subject.  Cantar  to sing  Canto  I sing  Cantamos  we sing

 To conjugate a verb means to change the verbs from the infinitive form to match the subject.  To conjugate a verb in Spanish in Present Tense: 1. Drop the ending from the infinitive (the –ar, -er, or –ir) 2. Add the ending that matches the particular subject  The following slide will show all the present tense endings…

-AR verbs-ER verbs-IR verbs yo tú usted él ella Nosotros (as) Vosotros(as) ustedes Ellos(as)

-AR verbs-ER verbs-IR verbs yo-o tú-as-es usted-a-e él-a-e ella-a-e Nosotros (as)-amos-emos-imos Vosotros(as)-áis-éis-ís ustedes-an-en Ellos(as)-an-en

 Since the ending of the verb can tell the subject, the subjects for yo, tú, nosotros, & vosotros can be omitted because their verb endings ONLY match their subjects.  These subjects or their subject pronouns can be added to emphasize or clarify who is being talked about.  Ana y yo cantamos. (Ana & I sing)  Cantamos. (We sing) -AR verbs-ER verbs-IR verbs yo-o tú-as-es Nosotros (as)-amos-emos-imos Vosotros(as)-áis-éis-ís

 The subjects usted, él, and ella share the same ending and the subjects ustedes and ellos share the same endings.  As a result, the subject MUST be used to clarify!  Cantan (They sing or you sing)  Ellos cantan. (They sing)  Ana y usted cantan. (Ana and you sing) -AR verbs-ER verbs-IR verbs usted-a-e él-a-e ella-a-e ustedes-an-en ellos-an-en

 Some verbs have vowel variations in their stems (the part of the verb before the –ar, -er, or –ir) and are called stem-changing verbs.  You have already learned jugar where the u changes to ue, and the verbs querer, tener, and venir where the e changes to ie.  Stem-changing verbs still use the regular –ar, - er, and –ir endings.  The verbs froms for nosotros and vosotros do NOT stem-change.
