  1. PRESENT TENSE –AR VERBS • Present tense of –arverbs. You already know that the infinitive forms of Spanish verbs always end in –ar, -er, and –ir. • The largest group of verbs end in –ar: Hablar is one of these –ar verbs. You will want to use verbs in ways other than in the infinitive form. To do this, you will drop the –ar ending and make changes.

  2. To create the forms of most –ar verbs, you first drop the –arfrom the infinitive, leaving the stem: hablar----habl • Then you add the verb ending –o, -as, -a, -amos, or –an to the stem.

  3. -AR ENDINGS

  4. In Spanish, the present tense form of a verb can be translated into English in two ways: Habloespañol.----I speak Spanish. I am speaking Spanish. • The verbs ending always indicate who is doing the action. In this case, they tell who is speaking. Because of this, you can often use the verb without a subject: Hablo ingles. -----¿Hablasespañol. • Subject pronouns are often used for emphasis or clarification. Ella habla ingles peroélhablaespañol.
