- VERBS
- Verbs are action words. For example: to go/to write/to be. This form of
- verb is called the infinative and we will use it as the stem to conjugate
- the verb tenses. There are three main types of regular verbs in spanish
- (verbs that follow normal rules)- verbs with ar er and ir endings.
- In spanish you often don't need a pronoun with a verb (ie. in english we
- say I speak but in spanish we don't need the word I). This is because we
- change the ending of the verb in spanish to show that it is `I' who speaks.
- The verb hablar-to speak is a regular ar verb. To conjugate verbs we cut
- off the regular end and add on a new ending. Hablar becomes habl + ending.
- To say I speak we use the verb hablar (to speak) and cut off the ar and
- add an o to make hablo. You could say Yo hablo or simply just hablo. To say
- he speaks or she speaks or you speak we use habla. They speak is hablan.
- We speak is hablamos. (We have left out the familiar form of the verb
- because it is only for long term acquaintances).
- The following are for present tense regular ar verbs:
- verb stem + o = I
- verb stem + a = he or she or you
- verb stem + an = they or you (plural)
- verb stem + amos = we
