IN SPANISH, THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF VERBS:
AR verbs (ex: hablar, cantar, bailar)
ER verbs (ex: comer, poner, tener)
IR verbs (ex: vivir, escribir, decir)
Verbs change depending on who is doing the action. When
you change the verb it is called a CONJUGATION
Take a look at these AR verbs:
HABLAR
CANTAR
BAILAR
Notice that the above three verbs are all unchanged,
meaning they are all in their original (unconjugated)
state. You can tell when a verb hasn’t been conjugated
because it will have either an AR, ER, or IR ending. An
unconjugated verb is known as an INFINITIVE
TO CONJUGATE ANY REGULAR AR VERB, YOU FOLLOW THESE STEPS…
1. Write your verb: HABLAR
2. Get rid of the AR. This leaves you with the STEM:
HABLAR
X  HABL
3. Add the following endings to the stem:
yo –o
nosotros, nosotras –amos
tú –as
vosotros, vosotras –áis
él, ella, usted –a
ellos, ellas, ustedes –an
THIS LEAVES YOU WITH YOUR NEWLY CONJUGATED VERB!
