TO SHOW WHO IS DOING THE
ACTION OF THE VERB……..
EXAMPLE: I speak is formed by removing
the “AR ending from HABLAR and
replacing it with an “O” to make
“HABLO” = I speak.
The pronoun “YO” = “I” and is used for
emphasis only. You may say
“Yo hablo”, but the “YO” isn’t necessary
as it is included in the “O” of hablo.
