Conjugating Verbs

The most important conceptyou will learn this year!

What are the subject pronouns?

We don’t use “vosotros” in this course. Vosotros is like saying “ya’ll” and it is used primarily in Spain. Since our course is centered around the Central American country of Costa Rica, you will never use vosotros in your responses.

If the sentence says a girl’s name like Maria, that would be “ella” (she)If the sentence says a boy’s name like Jose, that would be “él.” (he)If the sentence says “yo y mis amigos,” that would be “nosotros” (we)

Conjugating VerbsYou do it everyday without thinking about it. Remember verbs are action words. They tell us what someone is doing.

Let’s start with the verb “to study”

To correctly conjugate the verb “to study” in English, we say…

I study We study

You study

He studies They study

She studies

The verb “to study” in Spanish is

Estudiar

Simply leaving the verb like this……estudiar…..is called the infinitive form.

That’s a fancy way of saying you haven’t done anything to it yet.

You can’t walk around saying “I to study” or “We to

study.” It doesn’t make sense!

We have to conjugate it.

When you conjugate a verb, there are 3 things you need to ask yourself…

1. Does the verb end in “ar,” “er,” or “ir?”2. What is the subject pronoun that the verb needs to match? (yo,

tú…) 3. Is the verb a regular verb?

**How will you know if it is regular? As you learn how different verbs are conjugated, you will see that some follow a simple pattern where as others follow a different pattern. The weird verbs are called “irregular.”

Here is the regular verb chart. Copy it, put it next to your computer, MEMORIZE IT!

Estudiar – to study

We want to say“I study history in my history class.”

1. Does the verb end in “ar,” “er,” or “ir?” ar

2. What is the subject pronoun that the verb needs to match? (yo, tú…) yo (I)

3. Is the verb a regular verb? Yes

Take off the last two letters (ar) and replace with the ending that matches “yo.”

Yo estudio historia en mi clase de historia.

We study math in math class.

Nosotros estudiamos matemáticas en la clase de matemáticas.

Escribir = To Write

1. Does the verb end in “ar,” “er,” or “ir?” ir

2. What is the subject pronoun that the verb needs to match? (yo, tú…)

3. Is the verb a regular verb? Yes

Take off the last two letters (er) and replace with the ending that matches the pronoun.

He writes the history dates everyday.

Él escribe las fechas de historia todos los días.

My friend writes in her English class at 2:00 in the afternoon.

Mi amiga escribe en su clase de inglés a las dos de la tarde.

Leer = To Read

1. Does the verb end in “ar,” “er,” or “ir?” er

2. What is the subject pronoun that the verb needs to match? (yo, tú…)

3. Is the verb a regular verb? Yes

Take off the last two letters (er) and replace with the ending that matches the pronoun.

Roberto and Timothy read a book in English class.

Roberto y Timothy leen un libro en la clase de inglés.

I read some books at my school.

Yo leo unos libros a mi escuela.

un = a (masculine)una = a (feminine)unos = some plural (masculine)unas = some plural (feminine)

A Few Differences In Spanish…

In English, we say “they” for boys, girls, or a combination of both. Not in Spanish….

If you are talking about one boy use élIf you are talking about one girl use ella

If you are talking about more then one boy use ellosIf you are talking about more than one girl use ellas

If you have a group that is mixed use ellos

Now back to conjugating verbs….él with accent = heel without accent = the (masculine)

Some examples of conjugated verbs…

Every verb you learn, write it in your notes and conjugate it.

Make notecards or do other creative activities to practice conjugating the verbs

The more you write them, the more they get in your head!

Hablar = To Speak (regular verb)
