Spanish verb grammar can be a bit complex, but I'll provide you with a brief overview to
get you started. Here are some key points to understand:
1. Verb Conjugation: In Spanish, verbs change their endings to match the subject of the sentence.
There are three main verb endings: -ar, -er, and -ir. For example, the verb "hablar" (to speak)
belongs to the -ar group, while "comer" (to eat) belongs to the -er group, and "vivir" (to live) belongs
to the -ir group.
2. Present Tense: The present tense is used to talk about actions happening in the present. To
conjugate regular verbs in the present tense, remove the -ar, -er, or -ir ending and add the
appropriate ending for each subject. For example:
- Yo hablo (I speak)
3. Past Tense: The past tense is used to talk about actions that have already happened. Regular verbs
in the past tense are formed by removing the -ar, -er, or -ir ending and adding the appropriate
ending for each subject. For example:
- Yo hablé (I spoke)
4. Future Tense: The future tense is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future. Regular
verbs in the future tense are formed by adding the appropriate ending to the infinitive form of the
verb. For example:
