  4. Every verb has a stem followed by an ending. The stem tells the verbs meaning. An infinitive ending doesn’t name a subject or a tense Infinitive endings Verb stems Habl-arCom-erEscrib-ir

  5. To form the stem of any ar, er or ir verb, all you have to do is drop the last two letters (the ar, er or ir). • Hablar – habl • Comer – com • Escribir - escrib

  9. To give the verb a subject, you conjugate it. To conjugate a regular –ar verb in the present tense, drop the –ar ending of the infinitive and add these endings. Each ending goes with a particular subject pronoun.
