  1. Conjugating –AR verbs

  2. What does It mean to conjugate? • To conjugate a verb means to change the infinitive verb form so that it agrees with the different possible subjects. • Here is the present tense conjugation of the infinitive "to speak": • I speakyou speakhe speaksshe speakswe speakyou-all speakthey speak

  3. Spanish conjugation meanings • The present tense in Spanish can mean three things. The Spanish phrase "yo hablo" can mean: • yo habloI speakyo habloI am speakingyo habloI do speak

  4. Subject pronouns • A subject pronoun is a personal pronoun. That means it takes the place of a name and is the subject that the verb needs to match. In English our subject pronouns are: I, You, He, She, We, It, and They. • In Spanish, those same pronouns become: Yo, Tu, El, Ella, Usted Nosotros/as, Vosotros/as, ellos, ellas, and ustedes.

  5. What makes a Spanish verb? • Spanish infinitives are divided into two parts: the ending and the stem. The ending is the last two letters. Remember, all infinitives end in -ar, -er, or -ir. The stem is everything that's left after you remove the ending. • habl + ar = hablarcom + er = comerviv + ir = vivir

  6. How to conjugate –AR verbs • In this lesson, we will use the model -ar verbs: hablar. In Spanish, you conjugate verbs by changing the ending depending on the pronoun used: • Drop the –AR ending and add: • O for “yo” • As for “tu” • A for “el, ella or usted (ud.)” • Amos for “nosotros/as” • Ais for “vosotros/as” • An for “ellos, ellas, or ustedes (uds.)”

  7. Hablar (to Speak) Step 1- Take the –AR off of the verb so it becomes habl Step 2- Add the ending that matches your subject. Yo hablo Tu hablas El/Ella/Usted habla Nosotros/nosotras hablamos Vosotros/vosotras hablais Ellos/ellas/ustedes hablan

  8. Now that you have conjugated the verb “hablar”, you can follow the same rules to conjugate any regular verb ending in –AR. Try conjugating the following verbs on a sheet of paper: Bailar Besar Brincar llamar Estudiar comprar
