Yay, for verbs!!!!

 

        Verbs are the hardest thing to do in Spanish. Much like English you must use the proper suffix to correspond with the noun the verb is acting on. For example in English when you want to use "Jon" and "run" in the same sentence you must changes "run" to "runs", "Jon runs". Spanish is the same except in most verb tenses (Past, present, future, etc.) have different suffixes for each noun or pronoun, so to say, "Jon runs" you must use Jon (obviously) and the word for run, "correr". Now to turn that into a sentence you simply take off the "er" of "correr" and add the suffix "en", so it would be "Jon corren".

Confused? Dont worry all will be explained below.

 

Present tense

 

Yo= O (ar, er, ir)                             Nosotros= amos(ar) emos(er) imos(ir)

 

Tú= as(ar) es(er, ir)                             Vosotros

 

Él, ella, usted= a(ar) e(er, ir)              Ellos, ellas, ustedes= an(ar) en(er, ir)

 

*Note: I will add more tenses to the list later, there are 21 in all..
