Structures

Articles In English, we have 1 definite article, THE, which refers

to specific things (the boy, the idiots). We also have indefinite articles, A and AN, which refer to

one of those things in general (a boy, some idiots).

4 definite articles and they match the noun: El avión–THE plane La montaña– THE

mountain Los aviones–THE planes Las montañas– THE

mountains

Indefinite articles also have 4 forms: Un piloto– A pilot Una persona – A person Unos pilotos–SOME pilots Unas personas – Some

people

The Verb IR (to go) Use the verb IR to say GO or GOES or

IS GOING The forms are:

Voy, vas, va, vamos, van Use A for “to” If you say A + EL it becomes AL

Nando va al avión con sus amigos.

Example from ALIVE: Los amigos van a Chile en un avión.

The friends go to Chile in a plane.

Present tense AR/ER/IR verbs

Verbs are the action or power words in a sentence; they describe what someone is doing.

In Spanish, verbs must be changed (conjugated) to match the person (subject) using the verb.

There is nice, easy pattern to these changes (conjugations) of the verb.

Simply memorize the pattern in order to conjugate verbs.

Remember: YOU MUST CHANGE THE VERBS TO MATCH THE SUBJECT!

Pattern for AR Verbs: To conjugate AR verbs, you must first take the STEM of

the verb. The stem of any AR verb is the INFINITIVE minus AR (the

infinitive is the stem + AR). HABLAR = infinitive meaning “to speak”

The STEM of HABLAR HABL Once you have the stem of the verb, simply add the

ending that match each subject.

Yo = O I pray= Yo rezo.

Tú = AS You pray = Tú rezas.

Él / Ella / Usted = A He/She pray s= reza.

Nosotros (as)= AMOS We pray = rezamos.

Ellos / ellas / Uds. = AN They/You all pray =

rezan.

Pattern for ER/IR verbs To conjugate ER or IR verbs, you must first take the STEM

of the verb. The stem of any ER or IR verb is the INFINITIVE minus ER or

IR (the infinitive is the stem + ER or IR ). VIVIR = infinitive meaning “to live”

The STEM of VIVIR VIV Once you have the stem of the verb, simply add the

ending that match each subject.

Yo = O I live = Yo vivo.Tú = ES You live = Tú vives.Él / Ella / Usted = E He/She lives = Vive.Nosotros(as)=EMOS/IMOS We live= Vivimos.Ellos / ellas / Uds. = EN They/You all live = Viven.

Class and Weekday Words Use class (una materia) and weekday vocabulary

words to describe when you have classes. Use EL or LOS in front of the days of the week in

order to mean “On”

Examples: El viernes ellos van a Chile.

On Friday they go to Chile. Los martes y miércoles ellos tienen la

clase de historia. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays they have

History class.

Using Ordinal Numbers Ordinal Numbers describe numbers in order (or

Sequence) The words primero + tercero lose the “O” before a

masculine, singular noun.

El primer cadáver… All ordinal #s change the “o” to an “a” to match a

singular, feminine noun following the #.

La tercera víctima… Ordinal Numbers (First through Tenth)

1st = Primero 6th = Sexto2nd = Segundo 7th = Séptimo3rd = Tercero 8th = Octavo4th = Cuarto 9th = Noveno5th = Quinto 10th = Décimo

Amigos / Viajar / Futbol / Deporte / Jugar a los deportesLos amigos viajan a Chile.

VIVIR / Blanco / Negro / Gris / Triste

Unas personas viven en un avión.
