Conjugating Verbs! *You already know several verbs *Remember any???? *andar,hablar, estudiar, caminar, escuchar, etc…
Conjugating Verbs! *Notice anything these verbs have in common? *andar,hablar, estudiar, caminar, escuchar, etc… *They all end in AR!
Conjugating Verbs! *These are called…AR verbs! How creative! *In Spanish, there are three types of verbs: AR, ER, and IR *When verbs have the AR, ER, or IR attached to the end, this is called the INFINITIVE form
Conjugating Verbs! *In English, the infinitive form of a verb is “to _______” *Examples: to run, to walk, to eat
Conjugating Verbs! *We can’t go around saying “I to eat pizza” or “he to run to the store”… *So we have to conjugate verbs---“I eat pizza” and “he runs to the store”
Conjugating Verbs! *Conjugating means changing the verb from its infinitive form *You already know how to do this with the verb SER!
Conjugating Verbs! *SER is an irregular verb, so the good news is conjugating verbs can be much easier! *Most verbs follow a pattern—the endings change depending on the subject doing the action
Conjugating Verbs! *Here are the steps to conjugating regular verbs: • 1. Findthe infinitive • Drop the ending • (AR, in this case) • Add the new ending • (depending on the subject)
Example: 1. Find the infinitive: HABLAR 2. Drop the –AR ending: HABL • Add the new ending: • +O = HABLO
*These new endings form the PRESENT tense (happening now) *The present tense can be translated in three ways: I ________ I do _________ I am _________ing *Example with HABLAR: Yohablo = I speak, I do speak, I am speaking
