Who is doing the action?

What types of verbs are there?

What are the endings?

-AR verbs

-ER verbs

-IR verbs

All verbs end in the letter -R before they are conjugated.

Before they are conjugated that are call INFINITIVES.

Each type of verb has its own set of endings for conjugation. These endings tell us WHO is doing an action.

Remove the last two letters (-AR, -ER, or -IR)

Write down whatever is left. That's called the stem.

Add the appropriate ending.

First, remove the last two letters (hablar - ar)

Next, write what is left. That is called the stem (habl-)

Finally, remove the correct ending. (YO ending for -AR verbs is -O.)

Put it all together and the conjugated form is yo hablo.
