Conjugation of -ar verbs
Conjugation of -ar verbs
• Infinitives are the basic verb without any specific subject to let you know who is performing that verb. In English the infinitive is formed by using the word "to".
o to walk, to talk, to sing, to dance, to work, to study, etc.
• In Spanish, infinitives always end in either "-ar", "-er",or "-ir".
o caminar, hablar, cantar, bailar, trabajar, estudiar, etc.
• Also in Spanish a verb has two parts: the stem and it's ending.
• Hablar = habl + ar
(stem) (ending)
habl + ar
habl + ar
o (stem) (ending)
• "Conjugation" means to change the infinitive so that it fits with the appropriate subject.
The -ar verb endings for each subject are
|Singular subject |Ending |Plural subject |Ending |
|yo |-o |nosotros |-amos |
|tú |-as |vosotros (only used in Spain) |-ais |
|él |-a |ellos |-an |

|usted |-a |ustedes |-an | |
• To conjugate an -ar verb, drop the -ar ending and add the new ending that fits with your subject.
