1. NOTES (Take notes on a separate sheet of paper. Title it: -AR VERBS)
"AR verbs" – These are verbs that end in the letters -AR. Some common -AR verbs are hablar (to talk), bailar (to dance), trabajar (to work), and necesitar (to need)
"Conjugate" – this is when we change the verb. For an -ar verb, we will take off the -ar, and add different endings depending on the form.
In English this would be an example of verb conjugation: I sing, You sing He sings, She sings, We sing, You all sing, and They sing.
In Spanish, a regular present tense conjugation would look like this:
| Yo canto (I sing) | Nosotros cantamos (We sing |
| Tú cantas (You informal sing) | |
| Él canta (He sings) | Ellos cantan (They masc sing) |
| Ella canta (She sings) | Ellas cantan (They fem sing) |
| Usted canta (You formal sing) | Ustedes cantan (You all sing) |
Most of the forms are different unlike in English where only two forms are different.
Endings for -ar verbs are as follows:
| Singular | Plural |
| (Yo) -o | (Nosotros) -amos |
| (Tú) -as | |
| (Él) -a | (Ellos) -an |
| (Ella) -a | (Ellas) -an |
| (Usted) -a | (Ustedes) -an |
How to:
For an -ar verb that you want to conjugate, DROP the -ar, ADD the ending
So if I want to say, "I take notes" I am going to use the phrase "tomar apuntes". BUT, first I need to DROP the -ar and ADD the ending.
So, my phrase would be: "tomo apuntes" (I take notes)
Tú contestas=You answer
Él necesita=He needs
Nosotros enseñamos=We teach
