CHAPTER 5 GRAMMAR IStem-Changing Verbs

Present Tense (Repaso)

Present tense is used to describe actions that occur in the Present I run I am running I do run Do I run?

Every verb in Spanish has a stem followed by an ending. The stem is everything before the ending and tells the

verb’s meaning. The ending in Spanish can tell you who is the subject. The infinitive ending doesn’t name a subject. Cantar to sing Canto I sing Cantamos we sing

Present Tense (Repaso)

To conjugate a verb means to change the verbs from the infinitive form to match the subject.

To conjugate a verb in Spanish in Present Tense:1. Drop the ending from the infinitive (the –ar, -er,

or –ir)2. Add the ending that matches the particular

subject The following slide will show all the present tense

endings…

Present tense (Repaso)

Since the ending of the verb can tell the subject, the subjects for yo, tú, nosotros, & vosotros can be omitted because their verb endings ONLY match their subjects.

These subjects or their subject pronouns can be added to emphasize or clarify who is being talked about. Ana y yo cantamos. (Ana & I sing) Cantamos. (We sing)

-AR verbs -ER verbs -IR verbs

yo -o -o -o

tú -as -es -es

Nosotros (as) -amos -emos -imos

Vosotros(as) -áis -éis -ís

Present tense(Repaso)

The subjects usted, él, and ella share the same ending and the subjects ustedes and ellos share the same endings.

As a result, the subject MUST be used to clarify! Cantan (They sing or you sing) Ellos cantan. (They sing) Ana y usted cantan. (Ana and you sing)

Stem-Changing Verbs

Some verbs have vowel variations in their stems (the part of the verb before the –ar, -er, or –ir) and are called stem-changing verbs.

You have already learned jugar where the u changes to ue, and the verbs querer, tener, and venir where the e changes to ie.

Stem-changing verbs still use the regular –ar, -er, and –ir endings.

The verbs froms for nosotros and vosotros do NOT stem-change.
