Nosotros cantamos – We sing :)

The students of Spanish I practised the personal pronouns and the present tense of the AR verbs while singing.

They had fun and they learned some grammar!

Presente de los verbos acabados en -AR

There are three groups of verbs in Spanish: those ending in AR, those ending in ER and those ending in IR.

Let’s learn how to conjugate the present tense of the first group, the AR verbs.

First, you have to drop the ending of the infinitive (drop -AR) and then, add the endings for each subject.

I’m sure you will better understand how this works if you watch this video.
