  1. Verbs: Regular Present Conjugation of –ar verbs in Spanish

  2. Present Tense Verbs • The present tense in Spanish is equivalent to the present tense in English, although it has only a one word translation. In English the present tense is translated by: (1) verb meaning; (2) is, am, are + verb + ing; or (3) do/does + verb. However, all of theses are just a one word / verb translation in Spanish.

  3. Examples (Por ejemplo): • *Hablo (I speak, I **am speaking, I **do speak) • Beben (they drink, they are drinking, they do drink) • Viven (they live, they are living, they do live)

  4. Regular Present Tense continued • *Subject pronouns (yo, tú, él, etc.) are not always necessary; they are used for clarification and emphasis. • ** Students learning Spanish must be careful not to translate the helping verbs in English into Spanish.

  5. Verbs: Regular Tense/-ar • The –ar verbs in the present tense are formed by taking the stem of the infinitive(habl-) and adding special endings, depending on the subject. Thus, just by hearing the endings of the verbs, it’s possible to infer the subject even without a pronoun. The stem is what is left over after taking off the –ar from the infinitive
