Spanish Regular Verbs

Designed by Freepik In this lesson you will learn how to conjugate Spanish Regular Verbs in the present tense. All Spanish verbs are either “regular” or “irregular.” Many Spanish verbs are completely regular, meaning that they follow a specific pattern of conjugation. In Spanish, there are three categories of verbs. The category is determined by the last two letters of the infinitive: For a review of the subject pronouns, I recommend you to watch my video about this topic. See also:  Spanish Subject Pronouns The infinitive is the base form of the verb, such as to speak, to eat, to live, etc. In Spanish, all infinitives end in -ar, -er, or -ir. In Spanish, you conjugate verbs by dropping the infinitive ending (AR,ER,IR) and adding a specific ending for each person to the stem of the verb. In this lesson, we will use three model verbs: hablar (to speak), comer (to eat), and vivir (to live).  If the subject is I (yo), conjugate by droppi...

Today's lesson is about Spanish Subject Pronouns. La lección de hoy trata sobre los pronombres personales en español. A subject pronoun is a word   that takes the place of a noun as the subject of a sentence. For the plural pronouns, if the group referred to is all male, use the masculine ending: nosotros / ellos. If it is a mix of male and female, use the masculine ending too: nosotros / ellos If it is all female, use the feminine ending: nosotras / ellas. Juan, Pedro y Ana escuchan música. Ellos escuchan música. Juan, Pedro and Ana listen to music. They listen to music. Juana y María están felices. Ellas están felices. Juana and María are happy. They are happy. Use “tú” for people you know well, such as family, friends, and younger people. This is the informal way to say “you”. Use “usted” to show respect. It’s used with older people and people you do not know so well. This is the formal way to s...

Plural Nouns in Spanish

Por

Today we are going to learn how to make Spanish nouns plural. Just as in English, in Spanish there are nouns that name one thing (singular nouns), and nouns that name more than one thing (plural nouns) To make a singular noun plural, all you need to do is to look at the last letter in the word. Why? Because, Spanish singular to plural are formed by adding specific ends to the nouns. So, in this lesson you will find the basic rules for making nouns plural in Spanish. If the word ends in a vowel (a,e,i,o,u), just add the letter "s" at the end of the word. For nouns that end in these specific stressed vowels: í and ú we may add both "es" or "s" If the word ends in a consonant we must add "es" at the end of the word to make it plural. Words which end in a consonant and have an accent mark on the last syllable in the singular form, will drop the accent in the plural form. Some plural words ma...

Spanish Expression: Mi media Naranja

Por

Today we are going to learn a very common Spanish expression: Mi Media Naranja. This phrase is informal, it has an humorously and affectionate tone, similar to "my better half". This expression comes from Plato's Symposium, where Aristophanes told that originally humans were spherical like oranges, they  were double (man-woman, woman, woman, and man-man),  they had two opposite faces on the same head, four arms and four legs that they used to move by rolling, . Then one day, Zeus decided to split them in two. Since then we have all been presumably searching for the literally missing half we long to be reunited with. Example sentences: 1. Tú eres mi media naranja You are my better half 2. ¡Por fin encontré a mi media naranja! I finally found my better half. 3. Ahí viene mi media naranja. Here comes my better half. 4. María, te presento a mi media naranja. Mary, this is my better half. Watch the video to see the pronuncia...

In Spanish, nouns are often accompanied by articles. Spanish articles indicate: the word's gender (masculine or feminine ) the word's number (singular or plural )   In English the definite article is the word "the" regardless of wheter the noun it introduces is singular or plural. But in Spanish there are four forms: el, la, los, las, depending on wheter the noun is masculine, feminine, singular or plural. El: is used with masculine singular nouns La: is used with feminine singular nouns Los: is used with masculine plural nouns Las: is used with feminine plural nouns.
