Example 0 For example, let’s say you had math class in the first hour of your day. You would say this: Yo tengo la clase de matématicas en la primera hora. 0 Don’t forget the Yo form, which is the I form. 0 Also the time in which your class occurs (primero, segundo, etc.) is effected by the class it’s being associated with. In this example you say primera hora because matématicas ends with an A (feminine word). If the class was Español, you would say primero hora because the word Español ends with an O (masculine word).

Gramática- Present tense of –ar verbs 0 You already know that the infinite forms of Spanish verbs end in –ar, -er, or –ir. 0 The largest group of verbs end in –ar. Hablar is one of these verbs. 0 You will want to use verbs in ways other than in the infinitive form. To do this, you will drop the –ar ending and make changes. 0 To create the forms of most -ar verbs, you first drop the –ar form from the infinitive, leaving the stem: hablar habl- 0 Then you add the verb endings –o, -as, -a, -amos-, áis, or –an to the stem.

Present tense of –ar verbs (cont.) (Yo) hablo(Nostros, Nosotras) hablamos (Tú) hablas(Vosotros, Vosotras) habláis (él, ella) habla(Ellos/Ellas) hablan In Spanish, the present tense form of a verb can be translated into English in two ways: Hablo Español- I speak Spanish I am speaking Spanish The verb endings always indicate who is doing the action.
