3 A verb usually names the action in a sentence. We call the verb that ends in -r the INFINITIVE

4 The INFINITIVE is the form you would find in a Spanish dictionary. In English it means to + (verb)

5 Enseñar Estudiar Hablar Bailar Cantar Dibujar Escuchar n Esquiar n Jugar n Montar n Nadar n Pasar tiempo n Patinar n And several more!

6 The last letter or letters of the verb tell you who does the action.

7 To change an INFINITIVE to a form that tells who is doing the action, remove the -ar and add the appropriate ending.

8 This action is called CONJUGATION

9 Istudy Youstudy He Shestudies it Westudy Theystudy

10 Yoestudio Túestudias Ud. Élestudia Ella Nosotros estudiamos Nosotras Vosotros estudáis Vosotras Uds. Ellos estudian Ellas

11 For every INFINITIVE in Spanish there is a STEM and an ENDING.

12 For example, for estudiar,…estudi is the stem. ar is the ending.

13 So, the endings for -ar verbs are: o, as, a, amos, áis, an

14 Verb forms ending in áis, such as estudi áis, are used mainly in the country of Spain only.

15 Lets CONJUGATE Some more -ar verbs!

16 Yotoco Tútocas Ud. Éltoca Ella Nosotros tocamos nosotras Vosotros tocáis vosotras Uds. Ellos tocan Ellas

17 Yoenseño Túenseñas Ud. Élenseña Ella Nosotros enseñamos Vosotros enseñáis Uds. Ellos enseñan Ellas

18 When you want to say that you do not do something, use no before the verb form

19 Yo no cocino en la clase de educación física.

20 When we ask a question in Spanish, we usually put the subject after the verb or sometimes at the end of the sentence.

21 Cocina Juan en la clase de ciencias? Estudia mucho Paulina ? Verb Subject
