Remember, the pronouns are used if you need to clarify whom you are talking about or if you really want to emphasize the person – for example – you need to go. Like the previous lesson, since native speakers often leave off the Pronoun (in other words the el, ella, Ud, and so forth), we’ll practice it that way. First we’ll practice the “I” or “yo” conjugation which ends in an “o”. Now we’ll practice the “ER/IR” conjugations you’ve learned person by person. Now, the last one, you (plural) or all of you live = (when talking about a group of females) they live – (when talking about a mixed group of males and females) they live. (again, just a reminder that this is only used in Spain) You (plural) or all of you live would be = vivéis If the subject is they (ellos/ellas) or you-all – formal (ustedes), conjugate by dropping the ending and add -an (-ar verbs) or -en (-er and -ir verbs).Remember since you’re on a first-name basis with Juana, you add the friendly “s” You-all live, you-all are living, you-all do live
You-all eat, you-all are eating, you-all do eat Vosotros coméis (comer – er + éis = coméis) You-all speak, you-all are speaking, you-all do speak Vosotros habláis (hablar – ar + áis = habláis) If the subject is you-all – informal (vosotros/vosotras), conjugate by dropping the ending and add -áis, -éis, or ís. Regular and stem-changing IR verb conjugations require removing the infinitive ending and adding the corresponding Spanish tense ending to the verb’s root. Conjugating Ir Verbs in Spanish: Endings for all Tenses. Nosotros vivimos (vivir – ir + imos = vivimos) For example, dormirse is a reflexive ir ending verb. Nosotros comemos (comer – er + emos = comemos) Nosotros hablamos (hablar – ar + amos = hablamos) If the subject is we (nosotros/nosotras), conjugate by dropping the ending and add -amos, -emos, or -imos, depending on whether the verb is -ar, -er or -ir. He lives, she is living, you (formal) do live Él/ella/usted vive (vivir – ir + e = vive) He eats, she is eating, you (formal) do eat Él/ella/usted come (comer – er + e = come) He speaks, she is speaking, you (formal) do speak Él/ella/usted habla (hablar – ar + a = habla) If the subject is he (él), she (ella) or you – formal (usted), conjugate by dropping the ending and add -a (-ar verbs) or -e (-er and -ir verbs). You speak, you are speaking, you do speak If the subject is you – informal (tú), conjugate by dropping the ending and add -as (for -ar verbs) or -es (for -er and -ir verbs). If the subject is I (yo), conjugate by dropping the ending and add -o. In Spanish, you conjugate verbs by changing the ending. In this lesson, we will use three model verbs: hablar, comer, and vivir. The stem is everything that’s left after you remove the ending. Remember, all infinitives end in -ar, -er, or -ir. Spanish infinitives are divided into two parts: the ending and the stem. Before you can do that, you must memorize the following subject pronouns.įor a review of the subject pronouns, click here. In this lesson you will learn to conjugate regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs (in the present tense). Many Spanish verbs are completely regular, meaning that they follow a specific pattern of conjugation. The present tense in Spanish can mean three things. Here is the present tense conjugation of the infinitive “to speak”: To conjugate a verb means to manipulate the infinitive so that it agrees with the different possible subjects. In Spanish, all infinitives end in -ar, -er, or -ir. The infinitive is the base form of the verb, such as to speak, to eat, to live, etc. The category is determined by the last two letters of the infinitive: In Spanish, there are three categories of verbs.
