AR Verbs Conjugating Regular Verbs Group 1 Infinitives • Infinitives are the words ‘to + a verb’, such as : » To run, to play, to read, to study • In Spanish, infinitives end in the letters AR, ER or IR. – Hablar – Comer – Escribir to speak to eat to write What is Conjugation? • In English or Spanish, Conjugation is the act of changing the verb from the infinitive, to having a subject perform the action: – Examples: •To speak – Hablar He speaks Él habla. Spanish Conjugation Step 1 • The first step in conjugating in Spanish is to find the Stem of the verb. • In order to find the Stem, first remove the AR from the end of the infinitive: – Hablar – Ar = Habl Spanish Conjugation Step 2 • The second step is to bring the stem down to each pronoun: • • • • • • Yo habl Tú habl Él, Ella, Ud. habl Nosotros/as habl Vosotros/as habl Ellos, Ellas, Uds. habl Spanish Conjugation Step 3 • The third step is to add the correct endings to the Stem for each form: • • • • • • Yo hablo Tú hablas Él, Ella, Ud. habla Nosotros hablamos Vostoros habláis Ellos, Ellas, Uds. hablan Important points to remember • In English we tend to say that some “is doing” an action. In Spanish there is no reason to translate the words for “doing”, they are implied. • For example: • Ella habla – She speaks; She is speaking Important Points to remember (continued) • It is important to pay attention to the number of subjects that you have, in order to choose the right ending: – For example: • Miguel y Enrique hablan español. – Michael and Henry speak Spanish. Important points to remember (continued) • Whenever “Yo” is used with another subject in a sentence, the verb form used must always be the “nosotros” form: – Example: • Teresa y yo visitamos la playa. – Teresa and I visit the beach. Important points to remember (continued) • When “Tú” is used with another subject in the sentence, the “Vosotros” ending must be used on the verb. – Example: • Tú y los niños estudiás. – You and the boys study. Using AR Verbs Negatively • When we want to express that one is not performing an action, the word no is place between the subject and the verb: – Examples: • Nosotros no hablamos frances. • We do not speak French. • La chica no trabaja en la tienda. • The girl does not work in the store.
