Tuesday 12th August - Spanish 101

Biggest achievement of the day: kind of understanding how to conjugate verbs in Spanish. Ain't nothin' gonna stop me now!

So, in case you had been being kept awake at night wondering about Spanish conjugation, here is a short explanation:

Each verb in Spanish either ends in 

ar (e.g. cocinar -to cook)

er (e.g. comer - to eat)

ir (e.g. escribir - to write)

and then then to conjugate (make it agree with the subject. e.g. she RUNS - the 's' is making it agree. You wouldn't say 'she run' would you?!) it's just a case of removing the last two letters and adding the appropriate ending, as follows:

	cocinar	comer	escribir
yo (I)	cocino	como	escribo
tú (you) (informal)	cocinas	comes	escribes
él/ella (he/she)	cocina	come	escribe
usted (you) (formal)	cocina	come	escribe
nosotros (we)	cocinamos	comemos	escribimos
ustedes (you) (plural)	cocinan	comen	escriben
ellos/ellas (they)	cocinan	comen	escriben

That's all for today. Adios amigos!!!
