-ER and -IR verbs
Let’s review some terms!
Verb: a part of speech indicating action
Infinitive: an unchanged verb. In English it usually includes the word “to” – to be, to swim, to eat, to live, etc. In Spanish all infinitives end in either -AR, -ER-, -IR.
Ex: to swim = nadar
to eat = comer
to live = vivir
Conjugate: To change the verb from the infinitive to a form that matches the subject.
Subject: The person or thing doing the action
Conjugations: the forms of the verb after you conjugate it.
Ex: to swim: I swim; you swim; he she or it swims; we swim; they swim
Nadar: yo nado, tú nadas, él/ella/ Ud. Nada, nosotros nadamos, ellos/as/ Uds nadan
Subject pronouns: a word that replaces the proper names of nouns. In English: I, you, he, she, it,
we, they. In Spanish:
To conjugate a verb in Spanish you
