Verbs

Los verbos son palabras que indican acciones, existencia (ser/estar), posesión (tener) o ánimo.

En inglés, usamos la preposición “to” para formar el infinitivo, por ejemplo: “to talk” (hablar), “to eat”
(comer), “to change” (cambiar), etc.

Oscar wants to eat cake.

Infinitivo: No tiene tiempo ni persona. En español es la terminación “ar”, “er”, “ir”.

Además de los muchos tipos y usos de los verbos, necesitamos conjugar verbos. La conjugación de los
verbos depende del sujeto y del tiempo.

Present tense

Present simple afirmativas: Para conjugar el presente simple usamos el infinitivo para los
sujetos “I”, “you”, “we” y “they” y para las terceras personas “he”, “she” y “it”, añadimos
una “-s” al final del verbo.

Verbos que terminan en “consonante” +“y”, se cambia por “i” y agrego “es” : Study –
studies
Verbos que terminen en “ch”, “sh”, etc agregan “es” como watch---watches//
