Conjugation
is the change of the verb in accordance with the personal
pronouns. The English language only knows one conjugation
- the one in the third person singular:
he knows, she eats, it does. All other verbs
for all the other personal pronouns stay unchanged:
| I |
dream |
we |
dream |
| you |
dream |
you |
dream |
| he, she, it |
dreams |
they |
dream |
Spanish verbs do change according the
personal pronoun. That means they have different endings
depending on which personal pronoun is used (or better:
which person is talked about).
How this conjugation (= the change
of the verbs) is formed depends on the basic form of
the verb. Spanish verbs have the ending -ar, -er or
-ir. Here are some examples:
hablar
sacar
tomar
pagar
jugar
|
talk
take away
take
pay
play |
|
|
 |
|
|
recibir
presumir |

presume |
