Essential Question: Why is it important to be able to recognize and understand Spanish verbs in the present tense, particularly –ar 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 class. DESCANSAR • The verb can be split into two parts: • The base/stem: DESCANS• The infinitive ending: -AR • To conjugate a verb you add your endings (-o,-as,-a,-amos,-áis,-an) to the base/stem. DESCANSAR • Now let’s say “I rest.” • Start with the base: DESCANS• When you talk about yourself, add –O. DESCANSAR • yo descanso DESCANSAR • Now let’s talk about you. When the subject is tú, you add –AS (remember that it’s an –AR verb). DESCANSAR • tú descansas DESCANSAR • When we talk about él, ella, or usted, we just add an –A. DESCANSAR • él descansa • ella descansa • Ud. descansa DESCANSAR • When the subject is “we,” add –AMOS to the base. DESCANSAR • Nosotros descansamos DESCANSAR • When the subject is vosotros (you all (plural) Spain), add –ÁIS to the base. DESCANSAR • Vosotros descansáis DESCANSAR • When the subject is ellos, ellas, or ustedes (more than one person, but the speaker is not part of the group), add –AN to the base. DESCANSAR • ellos descansan • ellas descansan • Uds. descansan So what now? • Any time you encounter a regular -AR verb, the endings to attach to the base will be the same! • yo -o • tú -as • él -a • ella -a • usted -a • nosotros –amos • vosotros -áis • ellos -an • ustedes -an Let’s Practice! > HABLAR • yo _______ • tú _______ • él ________ • nosotros ________ • vosotros _________ • ellos _______ HABLAR • • • • • • yo hablo tú hablas él habla nosotros hablamos vosotros habláis ellos hablan COMPRAR • • • • • • yo _______ tú _______ ella ________ nosotros ________ vosotras ________ ellas _______ COMPRAR • • • • • • yo compro tú compras ella compra nosotros compramos vosotras compráis ellas compran ESTUDIAR • • • • • yo _______ tú _______ ella ________ tú y yo ________ Uds. _______ ESTUDIAR • • • • • yo estudio tú estudias ella estudia tú y yo estudiamos Uds. estudian • Reminder: did you remember to keep the –i as part of the base? More –AR Verbs • Here are some more verbs that work in exactly the same way: • • • • • • • • • • • caminar escuchar esquiar llegar mirar montar nadar regresar sacar tomar trabajar What’s Next? • You’re now ready to take on the two remaining verb classes, the –ER and –IR conjugations (Exercise #4). • Don’t worry! They’re easy!!
