2	–AR Verbs What do they look like? How do you change them? Why do you change them?
3	Most Spanish words that end in AR are verbs. habl bail estudi
4	All verbs have two parts to them: an ending
5	When you remove the ending, the part that remains is called the stem.
6	Every verb has 2 parts:
7	There are 3 types of verb categories: AR, ER & IR The AR tells us which endings to use.
8	The stem tells the action hablar habl = eat bailar bail = drink estudiar estudi = read
9	The ending o means I hablo = I am talking bailo = I am dancing estudio = I am studying canto = I am singing
10	The ending as means you hablas = You are talking bailas = You are dancing estudias = You are studying cantas = You are singing
11	The ending a means he, she, it, and the formal you (usted) habla = he is talking she is talking you (formal) are talking it is talking baila = he is dancing she is dancing you (formal) are dancing it is dancing
12	The ending amos means we hablamos = we are talking bailamos = we are dancing estudiamos = we are studying cantamos = we are singing
13	The ending áis means you (vosotros) habláis = you (vosotros) are talking bailáis = you (vosotros) are dancing estudáis = you (vosotros) are studying cantáis = you (vosotros) are singing
14	The ending an means they and you (ustedes) hablan = they are talking you (ustedes) are talking bailan = they are eating you (ustedes) are eating estudian = they are studying you (ustedes) are studying
