2. Los verbos -AR • There are three “kinds”, or “types” or verbs in Spanish. • They are: • -AR verbs • -ER verbs • -IR verbs • When you see a Spanish word that ends in one of these three letter combinations, it is almost always a verb*. *-There are some nouns that end in these letters, but they would have an ‘el’, ‘la’, ‘los’, ‘las’ in front of them, i.e. “el lugar” = “place” • We will need to learn how to use verbs in Spanish so we can communicate our ideas. We’ll start with how to use –AR verbs.

3. Los verbos -AR • First, we will need to know the –AR verb ‘endings’ (present tense). • These endings are used to show “who” is doing the action (remember, verbs are action words). • They are: -o yo nosotros/as -amos tú ellos/as -an -as -an -a él/ella ustedes (Uds.) -a usted (Ud.) • Notice that each ending is paired with a specific subject or subjects. They cannot be mixed and matched.

4. Step Three: Add your new ending, making sure it ‘matches’ the subject. Los verbos -AR • Here’s how we use these endings: ‘Hablar’ means ‘to talk’. If you wanted to say…“I talk” … for example, you might think you would say…“yo hablar”…but not quite. Here’s how to do it: Step One: Write down the subject and the verb. yohablo yo hablar yohablar Step Two: Remove the “ar” from the verb. So…“yo hablo”…means…“I talk”… in Spanish.

5. yo hablo = I talk/I am talking tú hablas = you talk/you are talking él habla = he talks/he is talking ella habla = she talks/she is talking usted (Ud.) habla = you talk/you are talking nosotros/as hablamos = we talk/we are talking ellos/as hablan = they talk/they are talking ustedes (Uds.) hablan = you (all) talk/you (all) are talking Los verbos -AR • Here’s what the verb “hablar” would look like in all 5 forms:

6. nadar = to swim yo nado tú nadas él/ella nada nosotros/as nadamos ellos/as nadan Uds. nadan cantar = to sing yo canto tú cantas él/ella canta nosotros/as cantamos ellos/as cantan Uds. cantan caminar = to walk yo camino tú caminas él/ella camina nosotros/as caminamos ellos/as caminan Uds. caminan Los verbos -AR • The same would be done with all –AR verbs in the present tense:

7. hablar = to talk yo hablo tú hablas él/ella habla nosotros/as hablamos ellos/as hablan Uds. hablan hablar = to talk yo hablo tú hablas él/ella habla nosotros/as hablamos ellos/as hablan Uds. hablan ser = to be yo soy tú eres él/ella es nosotros/as somos ellos/as son Uds. son tener = to have yo tengo tú tienes él/ella tiene nosotros/as tenemos ellos/as tienen Uds. tienen ser = to be yo soy tú eres él/ella es nosotros/as somos ellos/as son Uds. son tener = to have yo tengo tú tienes él/ella tiene nosotros/as tenemos ellos/as tienen Uds. tienen Los verbos -AR • Let’s compare an -AR verb to the two verbs you are already familiar with. Look for patterns in the words: DO YOU SEE THE PATTERNS? HOW ABOUT NOW? Let’s see an –AR verb in action 

Ex. hablar  habl__ hablo Los verbos -AR Repaso • There are three “kinds”, or “types” or verbs in Spanish: -AR, -ER, and -IR • To use an –AR verb, you need to know the proper “endings”.
