English Grammar Connection: Just as the English verb to be does not follow a pattern in the present
tense (I am, you are, he, she, it is, etc.), irregular verbs in Spanish do not follow the pattern of regular
or stem-changing verbs.
Dar, decir, poner, salir, traer, and venir are all irregular. How do you form the present tense of these
verbs?

Here’s How:
Decir has several irrgular forms. Only the nosotros(as) and vosotros(as) forms are regular.
Decir  to say, to tell
yo
tú
él, ella, ud. dice
digo
dices
nosotros(as)
vosotros(as)
ellos(as), uds.
Dicen que es una fiesta de sorpresa.
They say that it is a surprise party.
decimos
decís
dicen

Here’s How:
Venir is similar to tener, except that the nosotros(as) and vosotros(as) forms have –ir endings, while
tener uses –er endings.
Venir  to come
yo
tú
él, ella, ud. viene
vengo
vienes
nosotros(as)
vosotros(as)
ellos(as), uds.
¿De dónde vienes?
Where are you coming from?
venimos
venís
vienen

Some verbs are irregular only in the yo form of the present tense.
dar
poner
salir
traer
to give
to put, to place
to leave, to go out
to bring
Doy una fiesta.
I am giving a party.
doy
pongo
salgo
traigo
Pronunciación
Las letras “b” y “v” – pg. 79
In Spanish, the “b” and “v” are pronounced almost the same. As the first letter of a
word, at the beginning of a sentence or after the letters “m” and “n,” “b” and “v” are
pronounced like the hard “b” in the English word boy.
In the middle of a word, “b” and “v” have a softer sound, made by keeping the lips
slightly apart.
Listen and repeat:
basura
deber
venir
alfombra
todavía globo
Bárbara baila la cumbia en Colombia.
Debes subir al octavo piso.
invitar
acabar

English Grammar Connection: In both English and Spanish,
affirmative commands are used to tell someone to do something.
Use affirmative tú commands with a friend or a family member.
Here’s how:
Regular affirmative tú commands are the same as the él/ella forms in the present tense.
Infinitive
lavar
barrer
abrir
present tense
affirmative tú command
(él/ella) lava
¡Lava los platos!
(él/ella) barre
¡Barre el suelo!
(él/ella) abre
¡Abre la puerta!
Here’s how:
Some verbs you know have irregular affirmative tú commands.
Infinitive
decir
hacer
ir
poner
salir
ser
tener
venir
affirmative tú commands
sé
di
haz
ve
pon
sal
ten
ven
Here’s how:
If you use an affirmative command with a direct object pronoun, attach
the pronoun to the end. Add an accent when you attach a pronoun to a
command of two or more syllables to retain the original stress (see pg.
56).
¡Cierra la ventana!
Close the window!
¡Cierrala!
Close it!
¡Pon la mesa ahora!
Set the table now!
¡Ponla!
Set it!
