Verb Conjugation - AR Verbs
The largest category of regular Spanish verbs is those that end in -ar. To conjugate them, remove the infinitive ending and then add one of the following verb endings:
| Person | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Person | -o | -amos |
| 2nd Person Informal | -as | -áis |
| 3rd Person/2nd Person Formal | -a | -an |
We saw these endings when we explored the verb hablar earlier. As a reminder, here is that chart again:
| Person | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Person | (Yo) hablo | (Nosotros) hablamos |
| 2nd Person (informal) | (Tú) hablas | (Vosotros) habláis |
| 3rd Person/2nd Person Formal | (Él/Ella/Ud.) habla | (Ellos/Ellas/Uds.) hablan |
