Gramtica: Verbos regulares con -ar The verbs in the list on the previous slide are in their infinitive form. That s why the English translation usually starts with to (to help, to dance, etc.). All Spanish infinitives end in the letter r, and the three regular conjugation patterns are classified into -ar, -er, and -ir verbs. We ll learn about -er and -ir verbs in the next chapter. For now, let s look at the -ar verbs.
Gramtica: Verbos regulares con ar (cont.) Regular verbs ending in AR are conjugated in the present tense by removing the -AR infinitive ending and adding one of the following personal endings: Regular -ar Verbs Singular Plural First (yo) -o (nosotros) -amos Second (t ) -as (vosotros) - is * Third ( l / ella / usted) -a (ellos / ellas / ustedes) -an * Note: This second-person plural form (vosotros) is only used in the variety of Spanish used in Spain. In other Spanish dialects the third person plural form (ustedes) is used in both formal and informal plural direct-address situations.
Ejercicio Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb. 1. Yo _____ (escuchar) m sica en las ma anas. 2. Ellas _____ (caminar) en la monta a. 3. Nosotros _____ (trabajar) por la noche. 4. Cuando est s en la residencia estudiantil, _____ (bailar)? 5. Mi hermana _____ (viajar) a Europa en dos semanas. 6. Vosotros _____ (comprar) nueva ropa para el verano.
Basic sentence structure: statements The basic structure of simple sentences in Spanish is the same as in English: subject verb object. Since the verb will be conjugated differently according to the different subjects, the verb ending will often make it perfectly clear who is doing the action and you can leave the subject off unless you want to clarify or emphasize who is doing the action. Estudiamos el espa ol. (We study Spanish.) La profesora explica la gram tica. (The professor explains the grammar.)
Basic sentence structure: yes-no questions Yes-no questions are also quite simple in Spanish, and there are two ways of expressing them: either they have the same word order as a simple sentence and are spoken with a rising intonation instead of falling, or the verb and subject are reversed (verb subject object). Just be sure to put the upside-down question mark at the beginning and the upside-right question mark at the end of each question. Also note that Spanish does NOT use an auxiliary or helping verb like English (do/does). Estudiamos el espa ol? (Do we study / are we studying Spanish?) Explica la profesora la gram tica? (Does the professor explain the grammar?)
Basic sentence structure: negation Answering affirmatively is easy, you just say s (yes) and state your answer. To make a negative sentence, just put the word no before the verb (subject no verb object). The Spanish word no means both no and not . And remember that Spanish does NOT use the auxiliary or helping verb (do/does). No estudiamos el franc s. (We do not study French.) La profesora no explica la tecnolog a. (The professor doesn t explain the technology.) No, los estudiantes no escuchan m sica en la clase. (No, the students do not listen to music in class.)
Modal verbs Some verbs can have another verb as their object; these are called modal verbs. The same person needs to be doing both actions, and the second verb is *not* conjugated. Necesito ir al ba o. (I need to go to the bathroom.) Deseo estudiar un idioma de cada continente. (I want to study one language from each continent.)
