2	–IR Verbs What do they look like? How do you change them? Why do you change them?
3	Most Spanish words that end in IR are verbs. viv escrib recib
4	All verbs have two parts to them: an ending
5	Every verb has 2 parts:
6	There are 3 types of verb categories: AR, ER & IR The IR tells us which endings to use.
7	When you remove the ending, the part that remains is called the stem.
8	The stem tells the action vivir viv = eat escribir escrib = drink abrir abr = read
9	The ending o means I vivo = I am living escribo = I am writing recibo = I am receiving abro = I am opening
10	The ending es means you (tú) vives = you are living escribes = you are writing recibes = you are receiving abres = you are opening
11	The ending e means he, she, it, and the formal you (usted) vive = he is living she is living you (formal) are living it is living escribe = he is writing she is writing you (formal) are writing it is writing
12	The ending imos means we vivimos = we are living escribimos = we are writing recibimos = we are receiving abrimos = we are opening
13	The ending ís means you (vosotros) vivís = you (vosotros) are living escribís = you (vosotros) are writing recibís = you (vosotros) are receiving abrís = you (vosotros) are opening
14	The ending en means they and you (ustedes) viven = they are living you (ustedes) are living escriben = they are writing you (ustedes) are writing reciben = they are receiving you (ustedes) are receiving
