<p>Español 1 Me llamo ______Cap. 2A Fecha ______</p><p>-AR VERBS </p><p>Verbs:  A verb usually names the action in a sentence.  In Spanish we call a verb that ends in –ar, -er, or –ir an INFINITIVE.</p><p>The Infinitive:  is the form you would find in a Spanish dictionary.  in English it means “to + verb” </p><p>Here are some infinitives that you already know: </p><p> enseñar ______esquiar ______estudiar ______escuchar______hablar ______montar ______bailar ______nadar ______cantar ______pasar tiempo ______dibujar ______patinar ______</p><p>Conjugation = changing the verb to agree with the subject.</p><p>In Spanish, when we conjugate a verb, it is the last letter or letters that tell you who does the action.</p><p> To change an INFINITIVE verb to a form that tells who is doing the action, remove the –ar, -er, -ir ending and add the appropriate ending. </p><p>For this chapter, we will focus on –ar verb conjugation Notice how the To study (English) he, she, it form of I study We study the verb You study You study “to study” changes. He studies They study The verb She studies changes It studies to agree with the subject. </p><p>For every INFINITIVE in Spanish there is a STEM and an ENDING.</p><p>For example: estudiar estudi = the stem “ar” is the ending </p><p>Estudiar (Spanish) yo estudio nosotros estudiamos Spanish changes endings nosotras estudiamos to agree with the subject tú estudias vosotros estudáis too! In Spanish, there vosotras estudáis are 6 different endings. usted estudia ustedes estudian These ending ella estudia ellos estudian correspond to the él estudia ellas estudian subject. </p><p>In Spanish, we use the stem of the infinitive and add on the appropriate ending in order to form a conjugated verb. The endings for –ar verbs are: yo -o nosotros/nosotras -amos tú -as vosotros/vosotras -áis usted -a ustedes -an él -a ellos -an ella -a ellas -an</p><p>Verb forms ending in –áis are used mainly in Spain. Remember, we said that we will not be focusing on the vosotros/as form, but it is still important to k now. Let’s conjugate! 1. First, drop the –ar ending from the infinitive verb. 2. Second, add the appropriate ending to the stem. tocar - ______yo nosotros nosotras tú vosotros vosotras él ellos ella ellas usted ustedes enseñar - ______yo nosotros nosotras tú vosotros vosotras él ellos ella ellas usted ustedes NEGATING A SENTENCE:</p><p>When you want to say that you do not do something, use NO before the verb form. Example: Yo no dibujo en la clase de educación física. </p><p>______</p><p>Make the positive sentences negative. </p><p>1. Yo monto en monopatín en el parque. ______2. María estudia mucho. ______3. Nosotras tocamos la guitarra. ______</p><p>ASKING A QUESTION: VERB SUBJECT When we ask a question in Spanish, we usually put the subject after the verb or sometimes at the end of the sentence. Underline the verb and circle the subject. </p><p> ¿Enseña Juan en la clase de ciencias sociales? ______ ¿Estudia mucho Paulina? ______Práctica:</p><p>Conjugate the following verbs.
