    Lesson #2
    Verb Conjugation
    What is a verb?
    Its an action word. Sometimes its not an
    obvious action its a state of being. Some
    examples of action words we have learned so
    far in Spanish:
    Obvious Actions Not Obvious
    estoy I am
    come escucha soy I am
    llora dice es is
    corre se re est - is
    grita cuenta necesita
    cuida viene tiene
    vive quiere

    Verbs are very important! Without them,
    you do NOT have a sentence.
    Because we are telling lots of stories which are
    usually about other people, we started using
    verbs only in the he/she form meaning
    someone else is doing the action.
    However, its not always someone else doing the
    action.
    Sometimes its you, I or even we or another
    plural group doing the action.
    So time to expand our conversation to include
    others!
    Verb Conjugation
    The process of changing a verb to match WHO
    is DOING the action is called conjugating a
    verb.
    This is a new idea in Spanish. Verbs are NOT
    masculine or feminine like nouns. They also
    do NOT become plural by adding an s.
    The ending of the verb changes depending on
    the subject who or what is doing the action.
    Changing a verbs ending to match the subject
    Every verb has a beginning or a title. We call
    that the verbs infinitive or original form.
    The original form of the verb helps us with
    what the verb means, not who is doing the
    action.
    All verb infinitives will end with ar, er or
    ir.
    Examples:
    necesitar (to need) escuchar (to listen)
    correr (to run) comer (to eat)
    vivir (to live) escribir (to write)
    Verb Ending Patterns
    Each type of verb follows an easy
    to remember pattern for endings

    Verbs ending in ar
    Yo (I) -o
    T (you) -as
    l / Ella (he/she) -a (just drop the r)

    Nosotros/as (we) -amos
    Ellos/as (they) -an
    Ustedes (all of you) -an
    Lets see conjugating in action!
    Escuchar = to listen
    Yo escucho = I listen
    T escuchas = you listen
    l escucha = he listens
    Ella escucha = she listens

    Nosotros/as escuchamos = we listen
    Ellos/as escuchan = they listen
    Ustedes escuchan = you all listen
    Verbs ending in er
    Yo (I) -o
    T (you) -es
    l / Ella (he/she) -e (just drop the r)

    Nosotros/as (we) -emos
    Ellos/as (they) -en
    Ustedes (all of you) -en

    comer = to eat

    Yo como = I eat
    T comes = you eat
    l come = he eats
    Ella come = she eats

    Nosotros/as comemos = we eat
    Ellos/as comen = they eat
    Ustedes comen = you all eat

    Verbs ending in ir
    this gets a little more tricky look carefully at endings
    Yo (I) -o
    T (you) -es
    l / Ella (he/she) -e (drop the r, change I to e)

    Nosotros/as (we) -imos (keep the I in)
    Ellos/as (they) -en
    Ustedes (all of you) -en

    vivir = to live

    Yo vivo = I live
    T vives = you live
    l vive = he lives
    Ella vive = she lives

    Nosotros/as vivimos = we live
    Ellos/as viven = they live
    Ustedes viven = you all live

    1. Los estudiantes necesitan papel.
