8th grade Spanish Packet **if you have ANY questions or need extra help email me at adavis@saralandboe.org** **many additional resources can be found on the Remote Enrichment Learning tab on my website including videos and additional practice** Present Tense Verbs—one of THE most important things you should know how to do before you move on to Spanish II is conjugate (change) verbs in the present tense. We are going to review that concept with –AR, -ER, and –IR verbs. Before that let’s go back over your Subject Pronouns: yo I nosotros/as we tú you (informal) vosotros/as you all (only used in Spain) Usted you (formal) Ustedes you all (the one we use) él he ellos/as they ella she -AR Verbs All –AR verbs in Spanish are verbs that end in -AR like bailar. Bailar means to dance. To conjugate or change these verbs to go with different subjects you must remove the ending (-ar) and everything left over is the stem. Ex. Bailar –ar = bail (stem) Then you add different endings based on the subject pronouns from above. The –AR verb endings are: Yo -o nosotros/as -amos Tú -as vosotros/as -áis Él, ella, Ud. -a ellos/as, Uds. -an So if you were to remove the –ar from bailar and add an –o, it becomes bailo which now means “I dance”. -ER/-IR Verbs The good news is that the same process is used for –ER and –IR verbs. You will remove the ending (either –er or –ir) and add a different ending based on the subject. More good news? The –er and –ir verb endings are almost EXACTLY alike except the nosotros and vosotros forms. The –ER/-IR verb endings are: Yo -o nosotros/as -emos (-er) or –imos (-ir) Tú -es vosotros/as -éis (-er) or –ís (-ir) Él, ella, Ud. -e ellos/as, Uds. -en So if you were to remove the –er from comer (to eat) and add an –es, it becomes comes which now means “you eat”. **if you have ANY questions or need extra help email me at adavis@saralandboe.org** Now what happens if your subject doesn’t literally use one of your subject pronouns? You must figure out which subject pronoun you would replace that subject with and then match up the verb ending. For example: María _________ (beber) becomes María bebe *Since María would be replaced with ella in a sentence you would use the él, ella, Ud. ending for the verb. Since the verb is an –er verb you would use the –er verb endings. More examples: María y yo ________ (cantar) María y yo cantamos María y Pablo _______ (dibujar) María y Pablo dibujan Los amigos _______ (hablar) Los amigos hablan Here is a vocabulary list of verbs that you guys should already know to work with: Bailar to dance beber to drink cantar to sing Comer to eat compartir to share Dibujar to draw escuchar to listen Escribir to write Hablar to talk mirar to watch Mantener to maintain nadar to swim Practicar to practice responder to respond Sacar to take trabajar to work Usar to use ver to see/watch *Assignment 1: Write a sentence using each of the vocabulary verbs above WITHOUT using Me gusta. In other words, each of the verbs should be conjugated. For example: Sra. Davis baila y canta en el carro. Mi esposo no comparte su comida. **if you have ANY questions or need extra help email me at adavis@saralandboe.org** Irregular Verbs: Several verbs in Spanish don’t follow the normal pattern we just discussed. These verbs are called irregular and just have to be memorized. The seven most common irregular verbs in the Spanish language are: Ser to be Tener to have Estar to be Hay there is/there are Gustar to like Querer to want Ir to go All of these 7 verbs have 6 forms each so it can be a lot to memorize! Thankfully we have worked with these individually so you should have a strong background in them. Here are the conjugations of the Super 7 Irregular verbs: Ser-to be estar-to be Soy I am somos we are estoy-I am estamos-we are Eres you are sois you all are (Spain) estás-you are estáis-you all are Es he/she/it is son they are está-he/she is is están-they are Tener-to have Ir-to go Tengo-I have tenemos-we have voy-I go vamos-we go Tienes-you have tenéis-you all have vas-you go vais-you all go Tiene-he/she/it has tienen-they have va-he/she goes van-they go Gustar-to like ** to like something plural add an “n” to gusta Me gusta-I like nos gusta-we like Te gusta-you like os gusta-you all like Hay-there is/there are Le gusta-he/she likes les gusta-they like (no other forms) Querer-to want Quiero-I want queremos-we want Quieres-you want queréis-you all want Quiere-he/she wants quieren-they want *Assignment 3: Write a sentence using a form of each of the 7 irregular verbs. Make sure you use the conjgations. For example: Tengo un gato se llama Larry. Me gusta leer.
