-Ar ending verbs
-AR Verbs
 In Spanish, there are
three classes (or
conjugations) of verbs;
those that end in –AR,
those that end in –ER,
and those that end in
–IR. This is important
because the conjugation
determines the endings
you put on the verbs.
-AR Verbs
 Let’s look at an
example, the verb
DESCANSAR,
which means “to
rest”. It ends in
–AR, so it is
included in this
lesson.
Descansar
 The verb can be split
into two parts:
 The base:
DESCANS The infinitive ending:
-AR
Descansar
 Now let’s say “I rest.”
 Start with the base:
DESCANSThen when you talk
about yourself, add
-O.
 Yo descanso
Descansar
 Now let’s talk
about you. When
the subject is tú,
you add –AS
(remember that it’s
an –AR verb)
 Tú descansas
Descansar
 When we talk
about él, ella, or
usted, we just add
an –A.
 Ud. descansa
 Él descansa
 Ella descansa
Descansar
 When the subject is “we,”
add –AMOS to the base.
 Nosotros descansamos
Descansar
 When the subject is
ellos, ellas, or
ustedes (more than
one person, but the
speaker is not part of
the group).
 Add –AN
 Ustedes descansan
 Ellos descansan
 Ellas descansan
So what now?
 Anytime you encounter a
regular –AR verb, the
endings to attach to the
base will be the same!
 Yo- o
Nosotros- amos
 Tú- as
 Usted- a Ustedes- an
 Él – a
Ellos- an
 Ella- a
Ellas- an
