Lakukan tugas rumah & ujian kamu dengan baik sekarang menggunakan Quizwiz!

Regular Verbs

All follow the regular conjugation pattern. Ser is an irregular verb.

Verb

An action word.

Present tense

El indicativo

yo (I) tú (you) él (he) ella (she) usted (you formal) nosotros (we) vosotros (y'all) ellos/ellas (they) ustedes (you, plural/formal)

Here are the present indicative endings for -AR verbs. Use them to say that someone DOES or IS DOING something.

We simply take off the old ending and add a new ending.

How do we conjugate a verb?

You'd first remove the -AR, then add a new ending that gives us information about WHO is talking.

How do we conjugate the verb HABLAR, and why?

ENDINGS

In English, the _____________________ are mostly the same, no matter what subject you are referring to.

SUBJECT

In Spanish, however, each ________________ category requires a different ending. This is because, in Spanish, we don't need to use subject pronouns. The verbs must have different endings so that we can understand who is doing the action.

CONJUGATE/SUBJECT

In both English and Spanish, we need to __________________ verbs in order to match the __________________ so that we know who is doing them: we can't just leave them in their infinitive form.

ENDING/ TO TALK

Let's break down the verb, HABLAR! The 'AR' is called the _____________ of the verb, and an -ar on the end of the verb means "to". Hablar, therefore, means "________ __________". If we want to change it to say who is talking, we have to conjugate the infinitive.

STEM

Let's break down the verb, HABLAR! The 'HABL' is called the ____________ of the verb, and it tells us what the action is.

Conjugate

Making changes to a verb to say when it's being done and who is doing it.

Stem

The "root" of the verb.

Ending

The 2 letters at the end of the verb.

Infinitive

The base form of any verb- the one that you'd find in a dictionary. In English, it would be "to" do something (to walk, to run, to dance). In Spanish, it ends in -ar, -er, or -ir.

Subject

The person or thing doing an action.

To conjugate a verb in Spanish, you begin with the infinitive. For example, ________________.
