How to Learn Basic Spanish Verbs - Part 1
Introduction
Spanish verbs are divided into three main groups: AR, ER, and IR verbs. In this guide, we'll focus on regular verbs, which are the easiest to start with.
Understanding Verbs
Verbs represent actions or states, like "run," "eat," or "smile." In English, verbs do not change based on the subject. For example, in the phrases "I like cheese," "we like cheese," and "you like cheese," the verb "like" remains the same. In Spanish, a verb changes depending on the subject, which might seem unusual but will make sense soon!
Spanish Verb Types
Spanish verbs end in AR, ER, or IR and can be regular or irregular. We'll begin with regular verbs, as they follow consistent patterns.
AR Verbs
AR verbs are the most common in Spanish, making them a great starting point.
Example with "Tomar" (to drink):
- I drink wine: Remove "ar" and add "o" to form "tomo vino." Adding "yo" (I) is optional.
- You (singular) drink wine: Remove "ar" and add "as," resulting in "tomas vino."
- He/She drinks wine: Remove "ar" and add "a," giving "toma vino." This form is also used formally.
- We drink wine: Add "amos" to form "tomamos vino."
- You (plural) drink wine: Add "áis," forming "tomáis vino."
- They drink wine: Add "an," resulting in "toman vino."
These examples are in the present tense, describing actions happening now. We'll explore other tenses and ER and IR verbs in future articles. Learning Spanish can be highly rewarding, and I hope this guide has been helpful.
Good luck!
