How to Learn Spanish
Verbs
There are rumors saying that Spanish
verbs
are difficult to learn and how confusing they can be. You
might even be put off by them and avoid trying
to learn them. However, the truth is, Spanish verbs
can be learned with just a little effort.
One thing people do not understand that Spanish
verbs are in fact, similar to English verbs in many areas.
For example, you may have heard that it is difficult to learn
Spanish verbs because you need to conjugate them. What
conjugating
verbs simply means matching up the correct verb form for
each person, as in I, you, he, she, we, or they.
What people do not seem to understand is that we
often
conjugate English words as well. For instance, we say
<I
have> , but we say <she has>. While you
learn Spanish, you will also need to
conjugate verbs similarly.
The one difference is that you have numerous forms
for more of the <persons>. When you learn
Spanish verbs,
you
will learn a special form each
for I, you, we, they,
and other form
for he, she, or it. Another reason
that
makes it easy to learn Spanish verbs is that these verb forms
are based mostly on standard endings. Once
you know
these endings,
you can then apply them to the infinitives.
Infinitives are the very basic forms of the
verbs. All verbs in English have an infinitive form, but most
people do not know about it. The English infinitive begins
with
the simple word to, as in <to have>.
Spanish infinitives are
single words, like <tener>, meaning <to
have> also. If you
learn Spanish infinitives, you will have a good start while you learn
Spanish verbs.
As you learn Spanish,
you will find that some words are different from others. Just
as
in English, irregular verbs ar commonly found. The
English verb <to
be> is conjugated <I am>, <you are>,
<she is>, <we are>, and <they
are>. Since these forms are not the usual infinitive
with an
ending, they do form an irregular verb.
When you learn Spanish,
you will learn verbs with similar patterns. With the same
example, for the Spanish verb <ser>, the forms are
<yo
soy>, <tu
eres>, <ella es>, <nosotros
estamos>, and <ellos
estan>.
These are some irregular verb forms.
The next set of forms you will require to learn
Spanish are the tenses. In English, the past tense for
<jump>
is <jumped>. This is a regular past tense
word. An
example of a verb with an irregular past tense is
<go>, the
past tense is <went>.
As you learn Spanish,
you will learn how to make endings for each tense; present,
past, past perfect, and more. You will also learn Spanish
irregular endings for verbs in various different tenses. With
all
this knowledge that you will learn, along with information on various
parts of speech, you should be able to engage in an intelligent
conversation.
For sure, there are a lot to grasp while you
learn Spanish verbs. There are many words and verb forms to
learn. However, if you remember that English has many of
these same structures, you will realize that it is not so
confusing after all.
