VERBS
Verbs are action words. For example: to go/to write/to be. This form of
verb is called the infinative and we will use it as the stem to conjugate
the verb tenses. There are three main types of regular verbs in spanish
(verbs that follow normal rules)- verbs with ar er and ir endings.
In spanish you often don't need a pronoun with a verb (ie. in english we
say I speak but in spanish we don't need the word I). This is because we
change the ending of the verb in spanish to show that it is `I' who speaks.
The verb hablar-to speak is a regular ar verb. To conjugate verbs we cut
off the regular end and add on a new ending. Hablar becomes habl + ending.
To say I speak we use the verb hablar (to speak) and cut off the ar and
add an o to make hablo. You could say Yo hablo or simply just hablo. To say
he speaks or she speaks or you speak we use habla. They speak is hablan.
We speak is hablamos. (We have left out the familiar form of the verb
because it is only for long term acquaintances).
The following are for present tense regular ar verbs:
verb stem + o = I
verb stem + a = he or she or you
verb stem + an = they or you (plural)
verb stem + amos = we
