Regular -AR verbs - follow a pattern

There are 3 types of verbs...verbs that end in -AR, -ER, and -IR in the infinitive.

For example: hablar, comer, vivir 

VIC-Very Important Concept

When we conjugate, we change the verb according to the subject pronouns.

Yo-                             

Tú    

Él, ella, usted

Nosotros

Ellos/ellas/ustedes

• you (informal)

How do we get to the stem?

The stem of the verb is the remaining letters after we DROP the letters -AR off the end of the infinitive of the verb.

Think of the verb as a flower….hablar. Once we take off the -AR, we are left with the STEM….  HABL

Now we add back the endings that go with each pronoun

-AR verb endings

• Él, ella, usted-           habla
