In Spanish and in English... …conjugating the verb shows person (who’s doing the action) and tense (present, past, future, etc.)
Breaking down a verb... There are 2 parts to every infinitive: a stem and an ending *Remember infinitives end in –ar, -er, or –ir in Spanish. In English, infinitives have “to” in front of them. Dibuj ar stem ending
In order for an infinitive to make sense with a subject pronoun, you have to conjugate it correctly.
Step 1 Take off the ending You are left with only the stem. Dibuj ar
Step 2 Add a different ending, according to WHO is doing the action (the subject pronoun) Dibuj Yo o I draw
Step 2 cont… Add a different ending, according to WHO is doing the action (the subject pronoun) Dibuj Tú as You draw
Step 2 cont… Add a different ending, according to WHO is doing the action (the subject pronoun) Él, ella, Ud. Dibuj a He, she, you draws
Step 2 cont… Add a different ending, according to WHO is doing the action (the subject pronoun) Nosotros Dibuj amos We draw
Step 2 cont… Add a different ending, according to WHO is doing the action (the subject pronoun) Ellos, ellas, Uds. Dibuj an They, you guys draw
Step 3 Add the rest of your sentence! I draw is not a very sophisticated sentence... Yodibujo en la clase de arte. Federico no dibujabien. Celia y yodibujamostodos los días.
The present tense in Spanish can be translated FOUR ways in English. Escuchomúsica. = 1. I listen to music. 2. I do listen to music. 3. I am listening to music. 4. I will listen to music. (do not try to translate the words do,am, or will. They are included in the Spanish verb)

An infinitive is… …a verb that is not conjugated. It is the “dictionary” form of the verb Endings of infinitive verbs are • ar • er • ir estudiar = to study
A conjugated verb… …shows person and tense estudi + ar = infinitive stem ending We must change the infinitive to a form that tells who is doing the action and what tense it is. To do this, we drop the –ar ending.
Then we add the –ar verb endings to show who is doing the action of the verb and that in the example below, the action is in the present tense: estudi ar ending stem
Subject (Personal) Pronouns • – used to avoid repeating a person’s name. They tell who is doing an action. Mary works at Starbucks. She often works on Saturdays.
