The Endings For Regular Verbs
-AR verb endings   -ER/-IR verb endings


  -é -amos -í -imos
-aste      -iste
  -ó -aron -ió -ieron
The Infinitive
• When you learn a verb, you typically learn its
  infinitive form. For example: HABLAR,
  COMER, or ESCRIBIR
• Remember that all verbs are made of up two
  parts: the stem and the ending.


                Habl ar
Conjugating the verb HABLAR
               • Step 1
 é amos          – Remove the ending



aste             –Hablar
               • Step 2
 ó aron          – Add the ending that
                   matches the doer of the
                   action.
Process Summary
• Select the verb that means what you want to
  communicate.

• Remove the –ar, -er, or –ir.

• Add the ending that matches who it was that
  did the action.
You can do this
• Remember that all things are difficult before
  they become easy.

• If you continually work at conjugating the
  verbs, one night you will go to sleep and when
  you wake up you will conjugate without
  having to think.
You really can do it

• Give your brain time to make
  sense of it all.

• In the meantime, keep
  conjugating.
