Spanish: Verb Meanings

​Review:
Verb Conjugations

By Maddie Gomez

In Spanish, all verbs have an "infinitive form". There are 3 types of verbs.
1. Verbs ending in AR
2. Verbs ending in ER
3. Verbs ending in IR

Verbs that end in ER and IR are in a group together.
When you remove the AR/ER/IR ending, you are left with the "Stem".

Example...
Infinitive: HABLAR Stem: HABL-
Infinitive: COMER Stem: COM-
Infinitive: VIVIR Stem: VIV-
