Los Verbos
 The verb is the most important part of a sentence.
 Without it a sentence cannot stand.
 Some verbs alone can be considered as a sentence
such as Think! Look! Stop! Listen! And it is the
same in Spanish.
Los Verbos
 In Spanish, verbs are conjugated according to a
definite pattern.
 They follow the sequence of the personal subject
pronouns such as Yo (I), Tu (you),
Él/Ella (he/she), Nosotros/as (we), Vosotros/as (all
of you) and Ellos/Ellas (They).
Los Verbos Infinitivos
 All infinitive verb forms in Spanish end in either
ar, er or ir.

 These infinitive forms are equivalent to “to” plus a


verb in English such as amar = to love, comer = to
eat and subir = to go up/climb.
Verb Endings in Spanish
1) Verbs of the First Conjugation = those that end in
“AR” such as comprar and amar.
2) Verbs of the Second Conjugation = those that end
in “ER” such as correr and barrer.

3) Verbs of the Third Conjugation = those that end in


“IR” such as vivir and admitir.
Partes del Verbo Español
 1) Root/Stem = the part that remains the same
after the ending is taken out.
 2) Ending = the part of the verb which changes
during the course of conjugation.
cantar = cant (root) + ar (ending)
leer = le (root) + er (ending)
admitir = admit (root) + ir (ending)
Tipos de Verbos
1. Regular = when only the endings of infinitive
verbs change.

2. Irregular = when there are also changes in the root


of infinitive verbs.
