
Gustar and encantar are verbs that will ALWAYS need to be paired up with and
indirect object pronoun in order for it to make sense. Here are all of the indirect
object pronouns. So far, you have only learned the singular side:
Indirect Object Pronouns (ALWAYS need one of these w/ gustar or encantar)
____________me ___________ nos
____________ te
___________ os
____________le** ___________ les**
**When le or les is the indirect object we don’t know who is doing the talking. We have
to put an “_________” plus the pronoun/noun/name so that we know specifically who it
is that we’re talking about.
Ex. A Patricia le gusta el pan.
A ellos les gusta la limonada.
**Always use an“__________” with le or les**

If you are talking about more than one item that you like/love, add an
____________ for each noun.
Ex. Me gusta el pan, las manzanas y los plátanos.*
*Note how the singular form of gustar was used because a singular noun (el pan)
was listed first. If a plural noun came first, then you would use the plural form of
gustar.
Ex. Me gustan las manzanas, el pan y los plátanos.
Translate the following sentences:
1. I like eggs with bacon.
________________________________________________________________________
2. You love cheeseburgers.
________________________________________________________________________
3. She likes orange juice, cereal and milk for breakfast.

Conjugating Regular Present Tense -ER / -IR Verbs:


Remember that there are 3 types of infinitive endings: ______, _______ and
_______.
The same conjugation rules will apply to -ER & -IR infinitives. The only
difference is that they each have their own DIFFERENT CONJUGATION
ENDINGS!
As always, you still need to know your subject pronouns so that you know where
the endings line up!
Continue to use the same rules and hints to help you figure out your subject and
narrow down which conjugation ending that you need.
Fill in the subject pronoun chart that we use to conjugate verbs:

Let's compare all 3 endings so that you can see them side by side:



-AR
-ER
-IR

The only difference between the -AR and -ER endings is that all of the ________
turn to __________.

The -ER & -IR endings are exactly the same except for _______ endings:
The -ER nosotros form is __________and the -IR nosotros form is __________.
The -ER vosotros form is __________ and the -IR vosotros form is __________.
Fill in the correct conjugation of the following -ER or -IR verbs:
1. María _________ (comer) yogur de fresa todos los días.
2. Pablo y tú __________(beber) limonada en el verano.
3. Uds. ______________ (compartir) una pizza en el almuerzo.
4. Ella y yo ______________ (escribir) un cuento.
5. Paula, ¿__________ (leer) revistas?
Using Nouns as Adjectives:

You'll know right away if a noun is being used as an adjective because there will
be a ______ in between that noun and the one that it's describing.
Ex. el yogur de fresa (note how yogur is a noun and so is fresa)

When making these types of words plural, ONLY make the _________ noun
plural, not the one that describes it! Leave anything after the "de" as is!
Ex. los yogures de fresa

If a regular adjective describes a noun, there will be NO separation between them
and adjective agreement will apply (the noun & adjective must agree in # and
gender).
Ex. el yogur delicioso
los yogures deliciosos
Make the following vocabulary words plural:
1. la sopa de verduras _____________________________________________________
2. el perrito caliente ______________________________________________________
3. el sándwich de jamón de queso ____________________________________________
4. el pan tostado __________________________________________________________
5. la ensalada de frutas _____________________________________________________
Summary:
 When liking/loving a NOUN in 3RD PERSON make sure that you…
1. added an indirect object pronoun (me/te/le) with gusta(n)/encanta(n) depending on who it
is that liking/loving something: Te gustan las manzanas
2. used me gusta / me encanta for SINGULAR nouns or me gustan/ me encantan for
PLURAL nouns; match it to the first noun listed: me gusta el pan y los plátanos or me
gustan los plátanos y el pan
3. added an ARTICLE when liking/loving a noun: te gustan las fresas
 Conjugating Regular Present-Tense –ER/-IR Verbs:
o Same rules you learned for –AR verbs apply, BUT they have different conjugation
endings!
-ER: -o, -es, -e, -emos, -éis, -en
-IR: -o, -es, -e, -imos, -ís, en
 When we use a noun to describe another noun (instead of an adjective),we add the word “de” in
between the nouns: la leche de chocolate; do not change anything after the “de” when making
things plural, just recopy what was already there: las leches de chocolate
