  3. Conjugate: • Grammar. To inflect a verb in its forms for distinctions such as number, person, voice, mood, and tense. Examples of a conjugation… • I run. • You have. • She walks. • We are. • You see. • They speak.

  4. Infinitive: • not having inflections to indicate tense n : the uninflected (or unconjugated) form of the verb • the “to” form of a verb: to run, to walk, to have

  5. There are three types of verbs in Spanish. • -AR verbs are verbs that end in –ar. Hablar, mirar. • -ER verbs end in –er. Comer, beber. • -IR verbs end in –ir. Vivir, ofrir. -AR -ER Types of verbs -IR * Verbs ending in –ar, -er, and –ir in Spanish are known as infinitives.

  6. Let’s get started…Conjugating regular –AR verbs. • To conjugate a regular –AR verb, one must first remove the –AR ending from the infinitive. This will leave you with the base. Use the infinitive, hablar hablar – ar = habl habl is your base

  7. o as a amos áis an Add the regular –AR verb endings to your base infinitive – ending = base hablar – ar = habl habl habl habl o as a habl habl habl amos áis an

  8. These endings correspond with the following subject pronouns. SingularPlural Person 1st 2nd 3rd • yo = • o • nosotros/as = • amos • tú = • as • vosotros/as = • áis • Ud. • él = • ella • Uds. • ellos = • ellas • a • an
