15/10/2019

In Junior High we move on to conjugation of regular AR verbs in the present tense.

We have discussed infinitives, subject pronouns (both singular and plural), and verb endings.

By the end of the unit, students will be able to conjugate any regular AR Spanish verb in the present tense.

 

ENDINGS        Singular        Plural

1st person          yo-o               nosotros/nosotras –amos

2nd person        tú-as              Ustedes-an

                           Usted- a

3rd person          él/ella-a           ellos/ellas-an

 

To conjugate hablar, you would remove the infinitive ending to find the radical habl– and then add the appropriate endings:

HABLAR	Singular			Plural
1st person	yo	hablo		nosotros/nosotras	hablamos
2nd person	tú Usted	hablas habla		Ustedes	hablan
3rd person	él/ella	habla		ellos/ellas	hablan
