Grammar Summary
We think it is helpful to start our students
conjugating verbs as early as possible, so we begin the very first day. To
"conjugate" a verb means to change its endings to indicate what person is doing
the action.
The basic form of a verb is called "the
infinitive." In this preliminary chapter you are learning 4 verbs. Their
infinitive forms are listed just above in the vocab list (escribir,
escuchar, hablar, leer). Notice that they all end in
either "ar," "er" or "ir." These endings are very
important, as they determine how the verb will be conjugated in all the different tenses
of Spanish (present, past, future and so on.)
To conjugate a "regular" verb in the
Present Indicative Tense, you replace the endings "ar," "er"
or "ir" with a
different ending that indicates the person doing the action:
-AR Verb |
|
| Yo hablo |
Nosotros(as) hablamos |
| Tú hablas |
Vosotros(as)habláis |
| Él, ella, usted habla |
Ellos(as), ustedes hablan |
-ER Verb |
|
| Yo leo |
Nosotros(as) leemos |
| Tú lees |
Vosotros(as)leéis |
| Él, ella, usted lee |
Ellos(as), ustedes leen |
-IR Verb |
|
| Yo escribo |
Nosotros(as) escribimos |
| Tú escribes |
Vosotros(as) escribis |
| Él, ella, usted escribe |
Ellos(as), ustedes escriben |
|
