AR, ER, & IR Verbs in Spanish

A complete sentence needs TWO things:
A subject --> I, you, he/she

Subject = the person doing the action or the who?
Verb = the action taking place or the what?

What is a verb?
A verb is a word that expresses an action or a state of being.
In SPANISH, they are much easier to spot. They end in one of three ways: ar, er or ir
Can you think of any verbs in Spanish?

-ar
-er
-ir

What are some verbs in English?
to run
to speak
to study
to eat
10
¡Ojo!
Notice how all the verbs had "to" in front of them. We call this the "infinitive" form of the verb.
11
So basically...
"Infinitive" = a verb that is NOT conjugated OR
"Infinitive" = NO subject is attached to the verb
12
Multiple Choice
Which verb is in the INFINITIVE?
me gusta
juego
practico
tocar
13
So then what's conjugating?
Conjugation = assigning a subject to a verb
Elimination of the "to" before the verb and replacing it with a subject pronoun
14
In other words...
We know EXACTLY who is doing the action
15
The "stem" of a verb is...
Everything BEFORE the -ar, -er & -ir ending
16
Put differently...
The verb stem tells you the MEANING of the verb.
17
And the verb ending?
Tells you which conjugation chart to use!
18
Multiple Choice
What is the verb stem of hablar?
hab
habla
habl
hablar
19
Multiple Choice
What is the verb stem of comer?
com
er
come

20
Multiple Choice
What is the verb stem of escribir?

21
There are THREE steps to conjugating a verb, in Spanish:
Step one: take off the verb ending (-ar, er or -ir)
22
Step 2:
Re-write the stem of the verb.
23
REMEMBER! The stem is everything BEFORE the AR/ER/IR
24
Step three:
Figure out the subject of the sentence and attach the matching ending to the verb stem.
