Academic VocabConjugate: To break down a verb infinitive into each subject form. In English, you would conjugate TO TALK as: I talk, you talk, he/she talks, we talk, they talk.
Verbs in Spanish end in “AR”, “ER”, or “IR.” When you conjugate a verb in Spanish, you add a new verbending to the verb stem.
HABLAR Stem: the part of the verb that does not change when you add the verb ending.
For “regular” verbs without any spelling changes,you express the subject “I” by dropping the last two letters (AR) and replacing them with an “o,” the verb ending for “YO.”
Start with the infinitive: Now, drop the “AR” To talk YO HABL AR O And replace it with an “O” Yohablo = I talk
Yohablo Subject pronoun: Tells us who does the action. Stem: the part of the verb that does not change. Verb ending: the suffix you add to match the subject.
