Looking at some interesting verbs in Spanish

Introducción When you conjugate a verb, you separate the infinitive into two parts: the stem and the ending. Once you remove the -AR|-ER|-IR ending from the infinitive, all you need to do is add the correct ending for the subject. This process works wonderfully for most of the verbs in Spanish! We refer to those verbs as regular verbs. However, if there are such a thing as regular verbs, that also means that there will be some irregular verbs, too! Today we are going to look at some irregular verbs that you've already seen, and introduce a new one, too. SER The verb ser means 'to be' in English. In Spanish, there are two different verbs that express being (ser and estar). We use ser for: Descriptions Occupations Characteristics Time Origin RelationshipWe learned how to use ser way back at the beginning of the year! See if you can match the forms. yo soy tú eres él es nosotros somos vosotros sois ell@s son Fill in the sentences with the correct forms of the verb ser. Remember, it's irregular, so it doesn't use the standard -ER verb endings :) 1. Vosotras sois simpáticas.2. Nosotros somos de Filadelfia.3. Elena y Marta son médicas.4. Es la una de la tarde.5. Tú eres mi amigo.6. Yo soy estudiante. tener The verb tener means 'to have.' We can use it to talk about your age, possession, and also to express having to do something (we use the conjunction 'que' to do that). First, watch the embedded video, then fill in the chart. You'll notice that there are some similarities to -ER verbs, and some notable differences, too!Difference #1: The yo form gets a -go instead of just -o.Difference #2: The tú, él and ell@s forms have an e to ie spelling change in their stems when you conjugate them! tengo tienes tiene tenemos tenéis tienen What is the verb tenerbeing used for in this example sentence?¿Cuántos años tienes tú? to express a person's age to show possession to express an obligation What is the verb tenerbeing used for in this example sentence?Yo tengo una calcluadora azul en mi mochila. to express a person's age to show possession to express an obligation What is the verb tenerbeing used for in this example sentence?Los estudiantes tienen que estudiar para el examen. to express a person's age to show possession to express an obligation ir Voy, vas, va, vamos, vais, van. Ir is an -IR verb that uses an irregular scheme to conjugate! It's an -IR verb, but it doesn't use -IR verb endings. What are the different constructions that are used with ir? Select all that apply. ir + a + adjective ir + a + place ir + a + infinitive ir + a + noun ¿Cierto o falso? When using the ir + a + infinitive construction, you have to conjugate the verb after the true false Choose the correct translation: I am going to read the book. Yo voy a leo un libro. Yo ir a leo un libro. Yo voy a leer un libro. Choose the correct translation: Andrew and I are going to the mall. Andrés y yo voy al centro comercial. Andrés y yo vamos al centro comercial. Andrés y yo va al centro comercial. Choose the correct translation: They are going to eat in a café. Van a comen en una cafetería. Van a comer en una cafetería. Van a come en una cafetería. hacer Hacer is a super-useful verb! We use it to express doing and making. When you're talking about 'making' it's super straight forward. El pastelero hace un pastel. The baker makes a cake. Papá y yo hacemos la cena. Dad and I make dinner.Now let's talk about the 'dos' and 'don'ts' of "DO." Do use hacer to express 'doing' like: Vosotros hacéis la tarea. Y'all do the homework. Don't use hacer as an auxiliary verb when asking a question like: Do you study for the test? ¿Estudias tú para el examen? Note: When asking a question, write your ¿, then the verb, then the subject. You won't translate the word "do" to Spanish! The verb hacer works like every other -ER verb, with exception to the yo form. The Spanish language always changes the spelling of words to accommodate their pronunciation. The letter makes a soft "sss" (like in Yasssssss!) sound before an or an The letter makes a hard sound in front of the letters and So in the yo form, the spelling changes from to to 'soften' the pronunciation. We don't want the yo form to sound like hock-oh. Fill in each sentence with the correct form of the verb hacer. El pastelero hace la tarta de cumpleaños.Mi madre y padre hacen una fiesta.Los Órtega hacen la cena.Tú y yo hacemos la tarea.Yo hago la asignación.¿Qué haces tú en el museo? In the space below, write a sentence in Spanish using each of these subject pairs. Remember to conjugate the verb appropriately!Nosotros
