  1. AR Verbs Conjugating Regular Verbs Group 1

  2. Infinitives • Infinitives are the words ‘to + a verb’, such as : • To run, to play, to read, to study • In Spanish, infinitives end in the letters AR, ER or IR. • Hablar to speak • Comer to eat • Escribir to write

  3. What is Conjugation? • In English or Spanish, Conjugationis the act of changing the verb from the infinitive, to having a subject perform the action: • Examples: • To speak He speaks • Hablar Él habla.

  4. Spanish Conjugation Step 1 • The first step in conjugating in Spanish is to find the Stem of the verb. • In order to find the Stem, first remove the AR from the end of the infinitive: • Hablar – Ar = Habl

  5. Spanish Conjugation Step 2 • The second step is to bring the stem down to each pronoun: • Yo habl • Tú habl • Él, Ella, Ud. habl • Nosotros/as habl • Vosotros/as habl • Ellos, Ellas, Uds. habl

  6. Spanish Conjugation Step 3 • The third step is to add the correct endings to the Stem for each form: • Yo hablo • Tú hablas • Él, Ella, Ud. habla • Nosotros hablamos • Vostoros habláis • Ellos, Ellas, Uds. hablan

  7. Important points to remember • In English we tend to say that some “is doing” an action. In Spanish there is no reason to translate the words for “doing”, they are implied. • For example: • Ella habla • She speaks; She is speaking

  8. Important Points to remember (continued) • It is important to pay attention to the number of subjects that you have, in order to choose the right ending: • For example: • Miguel y Enrique hablan español. • Michael and Henry speak Spanish.

  9. Important points to remember (continued) • Whenever “Yo” is used with another subject in a sentence, the verb form used must always be the “nosotros” form: • Example: • Teresa y yo visitamos la playa. • Teresa and I visit the beach.

  10. Important points to remember (continued) • When “Tú” is used with another subject in the sentence, the “Vosotros” ending must be used on the verb. • Example: • Tú y los niños estudiás. • You and the boys study.

  11. Using AR Verbs Negatively • When we want to express that one is not performing an action, the word no is place between the subject and the verb: • Examples: • Nosotros no hablamos frances. • We do not speak French. • La chica no trabaja en la tienda. • The girl does not work in the store.
