Spanish Lesson: Verb Basics

Today we are going to look at one of the most common forms of Spanish verbs. Specifically, regular -ar verbs. While there is another class of verbs, irregular verbs, they are a little more complex so we will learn about them at a later date.

In order to understand verb conjugation, let me first define the "infinitive" form. The infinitive form is the part of the verb that stays the same during a conjugation. An example in English would be "to walk". Walk, walking, walked all contain "walk" so it is obvious that it is the infinitive form.

Let's use an example to make this clearer:

Hablar / To talk

Yo hablo / I talk

Tu hablas / You talk

El habla / He talks

Can you see how the verb "hablar" changes depending on it's use? It might not seem obvious at first glance, but keep repeating the words out loud until they finally click.

These rules apply to any verb ending in -ar. To make things clearer still, let's use hablar again to demonstrate. Pay close attention to what happens to the -ar part of hablar, with each conjugation.

Hablar / To talk

Yo -----> Hablo

Tu -----> Hablas

El -----> Habla

Nosotros -----> Hablamos

Vosotros -----> Hablais

Ellos -----> Hablan

How easy was that? Using the above rules, you now have the ability to conjugate any verbs you come across that end in -ar.
