2 CONJUGATION: WHAT S THAT? From Encarta: to state the forms of a verb: A verb such as "to speak" ("to speak" is the infinitive form in English. The same form, the infinitive form, is "hablar" in Spanish) has forms that vary according to who is doing the speaking, for example, and when. In English, you conjugate without thinking. (I think, you think, she thinks it looks different when the person is she ) HOW DO I CONJUGATE A VERB? Step 1: know the verb infinitive (the word that ends in ar, -er, or ir) you wish to conjugate Step 2: take off the ar, -er, or ir ending Step 3: add on the new ending that matches the person Example: I want to say I talk in Spanish. Hablar means to talk, and yo means I. So, let s conjugate hablar in the 1 st person yo form. 1. Hablar = to talk 2. Hablar habl 3. Hablo Yo hablo = I talk
