Infinitive verbs and Conjugation
Infinitive verbs and Conjugation
Both English and Spanish have infinitive verbs. A verb is a word that shows action (run, jump, study). An infinitive verb is a verb in its natural form.
In English, this form starts with "to".
In Spanish, infinitive verbs end in either "ar", "er" or "ir".
We can't use infinitive verbs when we say what people do.
Wrong: Sara to ride her bike every afternoon.
Right: Sara rides her bike every afternoon.
Changing a verb from its infinitive form into a usable form is called CONJUGATION. We can conjugate verbs from the infinitive into the past, present or future tenses.
You already learned that Spanish infinitives are divided into AR, ER and IR categories. In your notes, please re-organize the verbs (just the verbs) from this lesson into sections.

If a verb is regular, we reuse the stem to keep the basic meaning of the verb and we change the ending to say WHO is doing the action and if it happened, happens, or will happen.

One of the verbs in your IR verb list is NOT regular. We will write "Irregular" next to it in parenthesis. This will remind us that we cannot apply the rules we are about to learn to this verb. Can you guess which verb it is?

One of the verbs in your AR verb list is a stem changing verb, which we won't learn about until another unit. This means that we will have to avoid this verb until we learn to properly conjugate it or we may confuse the people we are speaking to. Find "Jugar" and write (ue) next to it. When we conjugate this verb, some forms look like this: Yo juego, Ella juega.
