  6. hablar, comer,& vivir(Infinitive forms) • hablar = to speak • comer = to eat • vivir = to live

  7. Habl com viv ar er ir A verb has two partsa stem & an ending

  8. English • When we form a sentence in English, we begin the sentence with a subject; • The subject can be either a noun or…a pronoun

  9. I You (familiar) he, she, it, you (formal) We They, You (plural) English Subject Pronouns

  10. Yo tú él, ella, usted Nosotros ellos, ellas, ustedes Spanish Subject Pronouns

  11. ¿Que pasa aquí? What happened to the “it”?

  12. Since all Spanish nouns are either masculine or feminine….. there is no Spanish subject pronoun for “it”.

  13. When the subject is asingular masculine or feminine noun, we simply use the same ending on the verb that we would use if the subject was “él” or “ella”.(That would be the third person singular verb ending)

  14. When the subject is a pluralmasculine or feminine noun, • we simply use the same ending on the verb that we would use if the subject was “ellos” or “ellas” .(That would be the third person plural verb ending)

  15. Enough of that confusion! Lets move on to verb conjugation

  16. As with English verbs, Spanish verbs must be conjugated in order to make the verb agree with the subject in person and number.

  17. In order to make a Spanish verb agree with the subject, we have to change its ending.

  19. o = I es = you (familiar) e = he, she, you (formal) emos = we en = they , you (plural) The verb endingidentifies the subject.

  20. I - o You (familiar) - es he, she,you (formal) -e We- emos They, you (plural)-en Correspondingly, the subject dictates the verb ending

  21. The ending of a verb also tells us when the action takes place.

  23. In order to make the verb agree with the subject we must ... Drop the ending from the infinitive form ….
