Essential ?: How do I use verbs other than serin sentences in Spanish? Topic: Conjugating –ar verbs
Verbs • So far, you have learned how to use one verb – SER • You have learned to conjugate it • Soy, eres, es, somos, son • Conjugating means that you change the verb to match who is doing the action • You must conjugate a verb if you are indicating someone is doing it.
Verbs • There are three types of verbs • -ar • -er • -ir • This chapter we focus on –ar verbs.
Verbs • A few things to know • The “infinitive” of a verb is the verb when it is not conjugated (hablar), when it still ends in ‘r’ • The verb ending refers to either the –ar, -er or –ir that you will remove • The stem refers to the part of the verb that is not the ending (hablar: habl – stem, -ar – ending)
Conjugating • You need to remember the pronouns • Yo = I • Tú = you (informal -- you will learn more about this) • Él = he • Ella = she • Ud. (Usted) = you (formal) • Nosotros = we • Vosotros = you all (only in Spain, we won’t use this) • Uds. = you all (we will use this) • Ellos/ellas = they
Conjugating • When you conjugate a verb, just like with ser, there is a different form of the verb depending on who is doing the action. • To conjugate an –ar verb, meaning if someone does the action, you will follow two steps • 1. Remove the –ar ending • 2. Add the new conjugation ending
Conjugating –ar verbs • These are the conjugation endings you use • Yo: -o • Tú: -as • Él/Ella/Ud.: -a • Nosotros: -amos • Vosotros: -áis (for knowledge purposes only) • Ellos/Ellas/Uds.: -an
An example: Cantar – to sing • Yo canto (I sing) • Túcantas (you sing) • Élcanta (he sings) • Ella canta (she sings) • Ud. canta (you [formal] sing) • Nosotroscantamos (we sing) • Ellos/Ellascantan (they sing) • Uds. cantan (you all sing)
Things to remember • If you are naming one person or thing, use the él/ella form. • Juan canta. El perrocanta. Mi amigo canta. • If you are saying (someone else) y yo…that is using the nosotros form. • Mi amigo y yocantamos. • If you mention multiple people, use the ellos form • Mis amigos cantan. Los alumnoscantan. Bob y Karla cantan.
Now you try…with estudiar ( to study)-write it on your desks! • Yo • Tú • Él • Ella • Ud. • Nosotros • Vosotros • Ellos/ellas • Uds.
This is how it should look: • Estudio • Estudias • Estudia • Estudiamos • Estudian
Practice in class: • I will say 6 verbs and you conjugate them in the correct form. • I will say 6 conjugated verbs and you cover your answer until I say to show your group for a “show down”. • Worksheet practice (teacherpage) under today’ s date. (both pages) • Connect 4 vs your face partner.
Remember… • You will “conjugate” a verb EVERY TIME you are indicating that someone is doing it. • You will take off the –ar ending • You will add a new conjugation ending • Vosotros is only used in Spain. It means “you all”. • You will use Uds. for “you all”
Your homework… • You will get a sheet with all the verbs in your vocabulary. • You have to conjugate each verb the way you did cantarand estudiar
