ends in a consonant instead of a vowel).
Generally an ‘O’ is a masculine ending and ‘A’ is the feminine
ending. Adjectives that end in other letters can be masculine or

Think about English – when you are describing someone you
do not say “she to be tall” , “we to be students”, “I to be rich”
How would you describe these people in English?
She is tall. We are students. I am rich.
In Spanish, each subject pronoun has a form of ser that
matches. Check out the chart to see the matches.
You must use the form of ser that is in the box with the subject
pronoun.
Vosotros soy bonitos = Y’all am pretty.
This sounds just as crazy in Spanish as in English.
Tú eres loco ... NOT tú es loco.
You can tell the correct form of ser based on the subject
pronoun. You can also figure out the subject pronoun based on
the form of ser. For the practice activity – figure out what would
go in the blank.
1. ____ soy inteligente.
2. Señor Pepe ____ profesor.
3. Usted ____ rica.
4. ____ eres guapo.
5. Andres y Diego ____ locos.

Ser + de explains origin of someone.

If a noun end in an ‘O’ – is it masculine or feminine?
If a noun ends in an ‘A’ – is it masculine or feminine?
You need to know the gender of a noun so you can figure out
the correct definite article to use.
Each noun has a single correct definite article that could come
before it. If you do not know if something is masculine or
feminine, you can check a Spanish-English dictionary.

You will either see (m.) for masculine or (f.) for feminine.
The letter ‘s’ at the end almost always makes it plural.
You can remember that indefinite articles mean ‘a’ or ‘an’ by
comparing it to ‘one’
uno = one
una = a
When you write, you would use ‘un’ instead of ‘uno’ for a
masculine singular noun.
For each of the sentences below, figure out the correct
indefinite article to use in the blank. You also need to translate

pronoun.

The chart below shows all the AR verb endings with the
corresponding subject pronouns.
Remember we talked about the dotted line between usted & él
/ ella as well as ustedes & ellos / ellas. They have the same
verb ending, but the definitions of the subject pronouns are
very different.
The endings also work with mixed subject pronouns. Think
about which subject pronouns they match.

Yo pregunto muchos preguntas.
Tú patinas rápido.
Ella habla por teléfono.
Nosotros caminamos en el parque.

The verb endings in Spanish change to show how is doing the
action. The process of changing the verb is called conjugation.
Link to endings &
conjugation
You need to start with the verb in the infinitive. There are two
steps:
1. drop the AR
2. add the correct ending
Conjugation PowerPoint
with Cantar
STEP 1:
With the AR,
Drop It, Erase It, Make It Magically Disappear, Blow It Up
STEP 2:
Add the correct ending
HINT: the endings are related to the subject pronouns
There is one correct ending for each of the subject pronouns.
Some of the subject pronouns share an ending. It is the same
as ser – the form of the verb tells the subject. Conjugation of
AR verbs is easier than ser. Ser was an irregular verb, for AR
verbs you just have to follow the pattern.

Tener means to have.
In Spanish, there are some special uses for tener – both expressions
and expressing obligation.
Before we can discuss expressions or tener que, you need to know
about the irregular forms.
Unlike earlier verbs you learned to conjugate, tener is an ER verb, so
the endings are slightly different.
Instead of the endings have ‘A’s – the endings have ‘E’s.
The yo form is completely irregular.
In the tú, usted, él, ella, ustedes, ellos, and ellas forms of the verb, the
‘E’ in the stem changes to ‘IE’
Nosotros and vosotros do not change in the stem. You just have to
remember to conjugate the end.
Vosotros tenéis que recorder a cambiar el fin.
It is easiest to just memorize the forms of tener as vocabulary. The
Study Stack link will help you practice.
