3. Pronoun review

4. verbs Verbs are actions! They are things that we do.
The first verb we are going to talk about today is Hablar. Hablar means “to speak”.
But we don’t go around saying things like “I to speak” and “he to speak”.
What do we say instead?

5. An infinitive An infinitive is the verb before we make any changes.
Examples include
Hablar – to speak
Comprar – to buy
Pagar – to pay
Necesitar – to need
Usar – to use
Llevar – to wear/to carry/to take along
To make these words make sense with each noun who is completing the action (verb), we have to conjugate them.

6. Steps for conjugating
With verbs that end in “AR”, we have to follow simple steps every time to make sure that we are using the verbs correctly.
Drop the AR ending from the verb.
With “Hablar” we would erase “ar” & it becomes “Habl”
Add the appropriate ending (provided below) -o
-amos
-as X -a
-an
