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:

- Hablar (to speak):

- Yo hablo (I speak)

- Tú hablas (You speak)

- Él/Ella habla (He/She speaks)

- Nosotros/Nosotras hablamos (We speak)

- Vosotros/Vosotras habláis (You all speak)

- Ellos/Ellas hablan (They 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:

- Hablar (to speak):

- Yo hablé (I spoke)

- Tú hablaste (You spoke)

- Él/Ella habló (He/She spoke)

- Nosotros/Nosotras hablamos (We spoke)

- Vosotros/Vosotras hablasteis (You all spoke)

- Ellos/Ellas hablaron (They 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:

- Hablar (to speak):


- Yo hablaré (I will speak)

- Tú hablarás (You will speak)

- Él/Ella hablará (He/She will speak)

- Nosotros/Nosotras hablaremos (We will speak)

- Vosotros/Vosotras hablaréis (You all will speak)

- Ellos/Ellas hablarán (They will speak)

These are just a few basic concepts of Spanish verb grammar. There are additional tenses, irregular
verbs, and other verb forms to explore as you progress in your learning. I re

(temporary state).

Mastering the correct usage of ser and estar can be challenging, as it requires understanding the
context and the intended meaning. Practice and exposure to different examples will help you
