Definición
• A VERB expresses an action or state of being

Más Definiciones• Infinitive - the ”to do something” form of a
verb; regular verbs will end in –ar, -er, or -ir Ejemplo: to buy (comprar)
• Stem-the ROOTS of all verbs; what is left after removing the ending of the infinitive
Ejemplo: compr (comprar)
• Conjugate= change the verb from the infinitive form; these verbs have a SUBJECT attached to them

What’s the stem?1. Mirar: Mir2. TrabajarTrabaj3. Levantar la manoLevant
Types of verbs• There are regular and irregular verbs in
Spanish.
• Regular verbs follow the same conjugation “formula” (or pattern), depending on the type of ending the infinitive has. Infinitives that are regular, end with –ar, -er, and –ir. There will be some exceptions to this.
• Irregular verbs have no set pattern to follow. You just have to memorize the conjugations.
Two examples are the verbs “ser” & “tener”.
Can you think of some verbs that end in “ar” that you have
already learned?
Comprar, hablar, estudiar, escuchar, andar en patineta, usar la computadora, sacar buena/mala nota, preguntar, contestar, llegar, tocar la guitarra, mirar la televisión, montar en bicicleta, dibujar, practicar deportes, pasear, trabajar, enseñar
The verbs change their endings according to the
subjects.
To conjugate (or change) an infinitivethat ends in –ar, follow this rule:
DROP THE –ar AND ADD THE CORRECT ENDING (see the chart)
-ar endings
yo = o nosotros/as = amos
tú = as vosotros/as = áis
él, ella, Ud. = a ellos, ellas, Uds. = an
No es complicado • Now, to conjugate an “ar” verb, all
you have to do is:
• 1. Drop the “ar”.• 2. Add the matching ending to the stem of the verb.

So…COMPRAR conjugated looks like this:
yo compro nosotros/as compramos
tú compras vosotros/as compráis
él, ella, Ud. compra ellos, ellas, Uds. compran
To make a sentence negative…
Put no in front of the conjugated verbYo necesito una hoja de papel. No necesito una pluma.
Ella habla francés. No habla alemán.
PrácticaI buy books. Yo compro libros.
The boys need water. Los chicos necesitan agua.
We speak Spanish. Nosotros hablamos español.
