To review, in Spanish there are 3 classes of verbs: You have already learned the AR verbendings and how to use them. And now,lets get started with the ER verbs. 1Remember that a verb has two parts. The stem (or root) and the ending.Conjugatingregular verbsVerbStemEndingHablar+ - Comer+ -Vivir+ - HablarComerVivirEvery verb has 2 parts:Beber = beb-Comer = com-Correr = corr-Leer = le-Aprender = aprend-Vender = vend-Comprender = comprend-Creer = cre-STEM+ENDING+ ERLos Pronombres Personales(Subject Pronouns)Singular
yo
t
l / ella / Ud.Plural
nosotros
vosotros
ellos / ellas / Uds.To form the present tense:STEM + Verb ending-o
-es
-e-emos
-is
-enPor ejemplo:comercomercom
com
comcom
com
comer
er
erer
er
ero
es
eemos
is
enFirst, drop off the ER ending and then add on the new ending.6The -ar endings and the er endings are the same except the letter a changes to an e. This is because the theme vowel of an ar verb is a and the theme vowel of an er verb is an e.
Transfer the knowledge of ar verb endings to the er verb endings and memorizing them is much easier!!! Did you notice???hablcomhablcomhablcom
