Spanish Verb Conjugation Basics

Conjugation is the process of ______ the verb to match the subject of the sentence.

When conjugating verbs, the first thing you do is ______ the last two letters.

If I am doing an action, the verb ends in...

• o

• as

• es

In Spanish, it's necessary to state the subject of the sentence.

• true

• false

Answer explanation

The answer is FALSE because the end of the verb already tells me who's doing the action. For example, I don't need to say "Yo Hablo" because the "o" at the end of the verb already indicates that I am doing the action.

The verb ending depends on two things: who's doing the action and ______.

• what time of day it is

• what type of verb it is

• where you are
