Stem Changing Verbs:

STEM-CHANGING VERBS: E:IE

Remember, there are three types of infinitives: -ar, -er, -ir. Infinitives are made up of two parts: the ending and the stem. In the following examples, the stem is underlined and the ending is in bold.hablarcomervivirWith regular verbs, the stem stays the same, and the ending changes as they are conjugated.

hablo como vivo

hablas comes vives

habla come vive

hablamos comemos vivimos

habláis coméis vivís

hablan comen viven

With some verbs, the stem also changes when you conjugate them. In the present tense, there are three groups of stem-changing verbs:o:ue u - ue jugare:iee:iWith the second group of stem-changing verbs, the letter e in the stem changes to ie in all forms except the nosotros and vosotros.

Question Words in Spanish

Interrogative Pronouns (Question Words)

Interrogative pronouns simply

mean question words.

Whether or not you realize it, a question word is actually a pronoun because it is used in place of the noun that would be the answer to the question.

Following is a complete list of question words. Notice that they all have accent marks.

Most of the question words have exact equivalents in Spanish and English. But there are a few issues you must understand in order to use the correct question word in context. There are three Spanish interrogative pronouns that can be translated to the English word what: qué, cuál, and cómo. Unfortunately, they are not just interchangeable, but there are some simple rules to govern their usage.

What rule 1: Always use qué to mean what directly in front of any noun.

               ¿Qué libro lee usted?               What book do you read?               ¿Qué comida comen ellos?               What food do they eat?

What rule 2: Qué is used in front of any form of the verb ser when asking for a definition or an explanation. That is, when you're really asking “What does it mean?” or “What is it?”

What rule 3: Cuál is used in front of any form of

the verb ser when you're asking for a choice or

specific answer. For example, consider the difference between the following two answers to a question about your address. The sample questions that generate them use the es form, which means is, of the verb ser.

A: My address is the house number, the street name, city, state, and zip code where I live.

B: My address is 555 Kingston Lane, Carrollton, Ohio 44615.

Answer A is obviously the response to a question asking for a definition or explanation of the word “address.” This is the type of answer elicited from the following question:

        ¿Qué es dirección?

        What is “your address?” (give me an explanation or definition of address)

Answer B is clearly the type of response to the question, “What is your address?” Any question asking for a specific response, as in the following example, requires the question word “ cuál.”

         ¿Cuál es tu dirección?

         What is your address? (give me a specific place)

What rule 4: Cómo is often used as a

response when someone fails to hear a comment and would like it repeated. In English when someone says something you don't hear, you say, “What?” If this happens in Spanish, the one word response, “¿ Cómo?” is appropriate. That does not, however, mean that cómo can be used to mean “What?” in any other situation.

The importance of knowing how to ask a question is obvious, but a large number of people tend to mix up the question words or simply can't remember them.

Try to use mnemonic (memory) tricks to help you remember the question words. The following examples are silly, and therein lies their beauty. Although they won't elicit the exact question word, they will certainly jar your memory. You should try to think of your own mnemonic devices for the rest of the question words.

       How did he get into a coma?       Cómo = how       Who dates Barbie? Ken!       Quién = who       What do they sell at K‐mart?       Qué = what       When can I buy a condo?        Cuándo = when

Most questions that have a question word are created exactly like a yes or no question with the question word in front. Take the question “Does he speak Italian?” ¿Habla él italiano? There are several question words that could be placed in front of the question to elicit more information than a yes or no answer.

The following examples show how different question words can elicit different answers:

         ¿Cómo está tu familia?          How is your family?

         ¿Dónde habla él italiano?          Where does he speak Italian?

          ¿Cuándo habla él italiano?          When does he speak Italian?

         ¿Por qué habla él italiano?         Why does he speak Italian?

All of the sample questions can be created simply by switching the subject and the verb to create a yes or no question and then placing the specific question word in front.

HAY QUE… / TENER + QUE…..

TENER QUE, HAY QUE

Tener que + infinitive is one way to express obligation or necessity. This expression can be translated as “someone has to do something.” Tener is conjugated according to the subject of the sentence.

Tengo que comer las verduras.I have to eat the vegetables.

Ángel tiene que leer el periódico.Ángel has to read the newspaper.

Ellos tienen que comprar una revista.They have to buy a magazine.

Hay que + infinitive is used to express the idea of “one must do something” or, “it is necessary to do something.” It is a more general

expression and since there is no subject, the verb form hay is always used.

Hay que tomar un taxi.It is necessary to take a taxi.

Hay que estudiar mucho.One must study a lot.

These examples illustrate the contrasting uses of these two expressions:

María tiene un examen el lunes. Ella tiene que estudiar.María has a test on Monday. She has to study.

No es fácil aprender el español. Hay que practicar mucho.It isn’t easy to learn Spanish. It is necessary to practice a lot.

STEM CHANGING VERBS E:I

The main form of the verb is called the infinitive. The infinitive consists of two parts: the ending and the stem. The ending is the last two letters. There are only three different endings: -ar, -er, and -ir. The stem is everything else, except the ending.

hablar: ending = ar, stem = hablcomer: ending = er, stem = comvivir: ending = ir, stem =vivSome spanish verbs are called stem-changers because when they are conjugated, the stem changes in a predictable way. In one group of stem-changing verbs, the letter e in the stem changes to i in all but the nosotros and vosotros forms.

This particular type of stem-changing verb is found only in -ir verbs.

Spanish Adjectives: Part I

Adjectives are frequently descriptive. That is, most often adjectives are used to describe a noun, or distinguish the noun from a group of

similar objects. For example, an adjective might describe the color of an object.the red penthe blue pen

In Spanish, most adjectives change form, depending upon whether the word they modify is masculine or feminine. Notice the difference between "the tall boy" and "the tall girl."el chico altola chica alta

Adjectives also change form depending upon whether the word they modify is singular or plural. Notice the difference between "the tall boy" and "the tall boys" ; "the tall girl" and "the tall girls."el chico altolos chicos altosla chica altalas chicas altas

Many common adjectives end in -o. These adjectives have four forms. The following words all mean "tall":altoaltaaltosaltas

The correct form of the adjective depends upon the noun it modifies. Is the noun masculine or feminine? Singular or plural?libro rojored bookpluma rojared penlibros rojosred booksplumas rojasred pens

Notice how the endings of the nouns and these adjectives are similar.libro rojopluma rojalibros rojosplumas rojas

Adjectives that end in -e also change form for singular or plural. To form the plural, simply add -s.la chica inteligentelas chicas inteligentes

Adjectives that end in -e do not, however, change form for masculine or feminine.la chica inteligenteel chico inteligentelas chicas inteligenteslos chicos inteligentes

Similarly, most adjectives that end in a consonant do change form for singular or plural, but do not change for masculine or feminine. To form the plural, add -es.la chica popularel chico popularlas chicas populareslos chicos populares

Let's review.1 Adjectives that end in -o have four forms:

alto, alta, altos, altas2 Adjectives that end in -e have two forms:

inteligente, inteligentes

Adjectives: Part II

Many adjectives of nationality end in -o. These adjectives follow the same rules as other adjectives ending in -o. That is, they have four forms.

el muchacho mexicanola muchacha mexicanalos muchachos mexicanos

las muchachas mexicanas

Many other adjectives of nationality end in a consonant. These adjectives do not follow the same rules as other adjectives ending in a consonant, rather, they have a distinct feminine form ending in -a.el muchacho españolla muchacha españolalos muchachos españoleslas muchachas españolas

There is another group of adjectives that does not follow the normal rules. Adjectives ending in -or, -án, -ón, or -ín also have a feminine form.el chico habladorla chica habladoralos chicos habladoreslas chicas habladorasel hombre trabajadorla mujer trabajadoralos hombres trabajadoreslas mujeres trabajadoras

Note: Adjectives ending in "-erior" do not have a feminine form.

Adjectives that are descriptive usually follow the noun they describe.

el chico altola chica altalos libros pequeñoslas plumas rojas

Adjectives of quantity almost always come before the noun. Such adjectives tell how much or how many.pocos librosmucha energíamucho trabajopocas casas

Sometimes, a descriptive adjective can precede the noun. If the adjective is descriptive, but speaks of a quality that is inherent and usually taken for granted, the adjective comes first.

la blanca nievethe white snow (snow is inherently white)los altos picosthe tall peaks (peaks are inherently tall)

Let's review the last two lessons.Adjectives that end in -o have four forms.altoaltaaltosaltas

Adjectives of nationality ending in -o are no different from other such adjectives.

Adjectives that end in -e have two forms.inteligenteinteligentes

Comjugation regular Spanish Verbs

Regular Spanish VerbsIn Spanish, there are three categories of verbs. The category is determined by the last two letters of the infinitive:

-ar verbs (like hablar)-er verbs (like comer)-ir verbs (like vivir)

The infinitive is the base form of the verb, such as to speak, to eat, to live,

etc. In Spanish, all

infinitives end in -ar, -er, or -ir.

-ar verb

hablar (to speak)

-er verbcomer (to eat)

-ir verbvivir (to live)

To conjugate a verb means to

manipulate the infinitive so that it agrees with the different possible subjects. Here is the present tense conjugation of the infinitive "to speak":to speak

I speakyou speakhe speaksshe speakswe speakyou-all speakALL OF YOU speakthey speak

The present tense in Spanish can mean three things.

The Spanish phrase "yo hablo" can mean:

yo habloI speak

yo habloI do speak

yo habloI am speaking

Many Spanish verbs are completely

regular, meaning that they follow a specific pattern of conjugation. In this lesson you will learn to conjugate regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs (in the present tense). Before you can do that, you must memorize the following subject pronouns.yo (I)tú (you - informal) VOS= very politeél (he)ella (she)usted (you - formal)

nosotros/nosotras (we)vosotros/vosotras (you-all - informal)

ellos/ellas (they)ustedes (you-all formal)

Tú = you familiar

VOS= You but VERY polite Old Spanish but still used in Many countries - in Central and South America America

Such as- Uruguay , Argentina……

For a review of the subject pronouns, click here.

Spanish infinitives are divided into two parts: the ending and the stem. The ending is the last two letters. Remember, all infinitives end in -ar, -er, or -ir. The stem is everything that's left after you remove the ending.habl + ar = hablarcom + er = comerviv + ir = vivir

In this lesson, we will use three model verbs: hablar, comer, and vivir. In Spanish, you conjugate verbs by changing the ending. If the subject is I (yo), conjugate by dropping the ending and add -o.yo hablo (hablar - ar + o = hablo)I speak, I am speaking, I do speak

yo como (comer - er + o = como)I eat, I am eating, I do eat

yo vivo (vivir - ir + o = vivo)I live, I am living, I do live

If the subject is you - informal (tú), conjugate by dropping the ending and add -as (for -ar verbs) or -es (for -er and

-ir verbs).tú hablas (hablar - ar + as = hablas)you speak, you are speaking, you do speak

tú comes (comer - er + es = comes)you eat, you are eating, you do eat

tú vives (vivir - ir + es = vives)you live, you are living, you do live

If the subject is he (él), she (ella) or you - formal (usted), conjugate by dropping the ending and add -a (-ar verbs) or -e (-er and -ir verbs).él/ella/usted habla (hablar - ar + a = habla)he speaks, she is speaking, you (formal) do speak

él/ella/usted come (comer - er + e = come)he eats, she is eating, you (formal) do eat

él/ella/usted vive (vivir - ir + e = vive)he lives, she is living, you (formal) do live

If the subject is we (nosotros/nosotras), conjugate by dropping the ending and add -amos, -emos, or -imos, depending on whether the verb is -ar, -er or -ir.nosotros hablamos (hablar - ar + amos = hablamos)we speak, we are speaking, we do speak

nosotros comemos (comer - er + emos = comemos)we eat, we are eating, we do eat

nosotros vivimos (vivir - ir + imos = vivimos)we live, we are living, we do live

If the subject is you-all - informal (vosotros/vosotras), conjugate by dropping the ending and add -áis, -éis, or ís.vosotros habláis (hablar - ar + áis = habláis)you-all speak, you-all are speaking, you-all do speak

vosotros coméis (comer - er + éis = coméis)you-all eat, you-all are eating, you-all do

eat

vosotros vivís (vivir - ir + ís = vivís)you-all live, you-all are living, you-all do live

If the subject is they (ellos/ellas) or you-all - formal (ustedes), conjugate by dropping the ending and add -an (-ar verbs) or -en (-er and -ir verbs).ellos/ellas/ustedes hablan (hablar - ar + an = hablan)they speak, they are speaking, you-all (formal) do speak

ellos/ellas/ustedes comen (comer - er + en = comen)they eat, they are eating, you-all (formal) do eat

ellos/ellas/ustedes viven (vivir - ir + en = viven)they live, they are living, you-all (formal) do live

As you can see, to conjugate regular -ar verbs, simply drop the ending (-ar) and add one of the following:-o-as-a-amos-áis-an

To conjugate regular -er verbs, simply

drop the ending (-er) and add one of the following:

-o-es-e-emos-éis-enTo conjugate regular -ir verbs, simply drop the ending (-ir) and add one of the following:-o-es-e-imos-ís-en

(*) Only used in Spain. Formal conjugations of the plural imperative end in -d, but in colloquial use the most common conjugation ends in -r instead: pensar, contar, etc.

Note that sentir and dormir also undergo vowel raising. Additional diphthongizing verbs include acordar(se), divertir(se), doler, empezar, encontrar, entender, llover, morir, mostrar, mover, poder, probar, querer, recordar, sentar(se), tener, venir, volar, and volver.Many verbs with -e- or -o- in the root do not alternate. Common non-diphthongizing verbs include acercar(se), beber, comer, comprar, conocer, correr, creer, deber, dejar, entrar, esperar, lamentar, llegar, llevar, meter, parecer, poner, prometer, quedar, regresar, responder, suceder, temer, and tomar.Less frequent verbs of this kind are often a source of mistakes for children learning to speak, and also for some adults:

• rebosar → yo *rebueso, él *rebuesa... instead of yo reboso, él rebosa...

Vowel raising[edit]Vowel raising appears only in verbs of the third conjugation (-ir verbs), and in this group it affects dormir, morir, podrir (alternative for the more common pudrir) and nearly all verbs which have -e- as their last stem vowel (e.g. sentir, repetir); exceptions include cernir, discernir and concernir (all three diphthongizing).Affected forms[edit]The forms that exhibit the change can be described negatively as those in which the stem vowel is not diphthongized and the ending does not contain stressed /í/[3] or the /ir/ sequence. In other words, vowel raising affects the forms whose endings do not contain an i which is not part of a diphthong, taking into account that diphthongizing overrides vowel raising.In effect, for diphthongizing verbs (e.g. sentir, dormir), the vowel-raising forms are:3the first-person and second-person plural of the present

subjunctive (sintamos, sintáis, durmamos, durmáis);4the gerund (sintiendo, durmiendo);5the third-person singular and plural of the preterite

(sintió, sintieron, durmió, durmieron);6all forms of the imperfect subjunctive (sintiera/sintiese...,

durmiera/durmiese...) and of the future subjunctive (sintiere..., durmiere...).

For non-diphthongizing verbs (e.g. pedir) it affects these same forms (pidamos, pidáis, pidiendo, pidió, pidieron, pidiera...), plus:• in the present indicative, all singular forms and the third-

person plural (pido, pides, pide, piden);• the remaining forms of the present subjunctive (pida,

pidas, pidan);• the tú form of the imperative (pide).The forms which do not undergo either diphthongizing or vowel raising are:• the first-person and second-person plural of the present

indicative (sentimos, sentís), because these forms have stressed /í/ in their endings.

• the infinitive (sentir), past participle (sentido), imperfect indicative (sentía...) and the vos and vosotros/as forms of the imperative (sentí, sentid), for the same reason.

• the future (sentiré...) and conditional (sentiría...), whose endings contain the /ir/ sequence.

Affected verbs[edit]Verbs which are diphthongizing and vowel-raising include:• those ending in -entir (sentir, mentir, arrepentirse...) and -

ertir (convertir, advertir...);• those ending in -erir (herir, requerir, preferir, digerir...),

except aterir;• venir and derived verbs (convenir, prevenir...) in the

gerund (viniendo...), as the rest of forms undergo other overriding irregularities.

• dormir and morir.The diphthongizing -er verb poder exceptionally undergoes vowel rising in the gerund (pudiendo), but the first- and second-person plural of the present subjunctive are regular (podamos, podáis).Non-diphthongizing vowel-rising verbs include:those ending in -edir (medir, pedir, despedir...), -etir

(competir, repetir) and -egir (corregir, elegir...; note forms with j before a/o such as corrijo, corrija).

those ending in -eír (reír, sonreír, freír, desleír). Double i that would result is simplified (rieron, not *riieron or *riyeron). Note that stressed i in contact with a/e/o must take an acute accent (río, ríe, ría) but monosyllabic forms of the preterite do not have it (rio, riais, but rió and riáis also valid if you pronounce them in two syllables).

those ending in -eñir (teñir, ceñir...). Note that unstressed i between ñ and a vowel is dropped (tiñendo, tiñó, tiñeron, tiñera...).

decir and derived verbs (bendecir, predecir...), in the forms that do not undergo other overriding irregularities.

embestir.podrir. Note that the affected forms are equal to those

derived from the more usual infinitive pudrir, which is regular except in the past participle podrido.

The vowel-raising verb erguir is usually diphthongizing (with ye- forms as yergo...), not-diphthongizing forms are however valid but rare (irgo...).Diphthongs and hiatuses[edit]Cambio vs. envío[edit]Diphthongs in the infinitive may be preserved throughout the conjugation or broken in the forms which are stressed on the stem, depending on whether the i or u in contact with a/e/o take the stress or not. The stressed vowel is marked bold in the examples: cambiar > cambio, but enviar > envío (requiring an acute accent to indicate the resulting hiatus). The Spanish Royal Academy doesn't consider either behaviour as an irregularity, but illustrates

each with six "regular" models, one for each possible diphthong in the infinitive: anunciar, averiguar, bailar, causar, peinar and adeudar for diphthong-keeping verbs and enviar, actuar, aislar, aunar, descafeinar and rehusar for diphthong-breaking ones. Remember that the presence of a silent h does not break a diphthong, so a written accent is needed anyway in rehúso.All verbs ending in -guar are diphthong-keeping, as well as saciar, desairar, restaurar and reinar. Note that two dipththongs are kept in desahuciar > desahucio (again the -h- makes no difference), which thus follows both the anunciar and causar models.Diphthong-breaking verbs include ahincar, aislar, aunar, aullar, maullar, aupar, aliar, vaciar, contrariar, evaluar, habituar, reunir. The verbs criar, fiar, guiar, liar and piar are also diphthong-breaking (crío, guíe), but when the stress falls on the endings the resulting forms are generally considered as monosyllables and thus written without accent: crie, fie, guiais, lieis.... In spite of that, you can follow the regular accentuation rules if you pronounce these forms as bisyllabic: crié, guiáis...For the verbs licuar and adecuar both options are valid: adecuo or adecúo.Note that the ui diphthong in cuidar is kept throughout the conjugation despite the fact of the i getting the stress in forms such as cuido (written without stress mark).Verbs ending in -uir and -oír[edit]All verbs ending in -uir (e.g. construir, disminuir, distribuir) add a medial -y- before all endings not starting with i: construyo, construyes, construya... Taking into account that these verbs also undergo the change of unstressed

intervocalic i to y (see orthographical changes above), they have many forms containing y.This also applies to the forms of oír and desoír that do not undergo the -ig- change: oyes, oye, oyenAgain, note that some regular forms of fluir, fruir and huir are written without stress mark if considered monosyllabic, but may bear it if pronounced as bisyllabic: vosotros huis or huís (present), yo hui or huí (preterite).Note that logically argüir loses the diaeresis before y: arguyo, arguyó...Other common irregular patterns[edit]Endings starting with o/a in er/ir verbs[edit]In er and ir verbs, the first person singular of the present indicative and the whole present subjunctive are the only forms whose endings start with o/a instead of e/i. These two different phonetic environments made Latin forms evolve differently in many verbs, leading to irregularities. Note that:Whenever the first person singular of the present

indicative has an irregularity other than diphthongizing, but still ends in -o, the whole present subjunctive shares the same irregularity:

hacer > hago, haga...lucir > luzco, luzca...caber > quepo, quepa...ver > veo, vea...; prever > preveo, prevea...

When the first person singular of the present indicative does not end in -o, the present subjunctive is also irregular, but in a different way:

ser > soy, sea...ir > voy, vaya...

haber > he, hayasaber > sé, sepa...

G-verbs[edit]Before o (in the first person singular of the indicative present tense) and a (that is, in all persons of the present subjunctive), the so-called G-verbs (sometimes "go-verbs" or "yo-go" verbs) add a medial -g- after l and n (also after s in asir), add -ig- when the root ends in a vowel, or substitute -g- for -c-. Note that this change overrides diphthongization (tener, venir) but combines with vowel-raising (decir). Many of these verbs are also irregular in other ways. For example:salir: yo salgo, tú sales...valer: yo valgo, tú vales...poner: yo pongo, tú pones...tener: yo tengo, tú tienes...venir: yo vengo , tú vienes...caer: yo caigo, tú caes...traer: yo traigo, tú traes...oír: yo oigo, tú oyes...hacer: yo hago, tú haces...decir: yo digo, tú dices...asir: yo asgo, tú ases...ZC-verbs[edit]This group of verbs—which originated in the Latin inchoative verbs but now includes other verbs as well— substitute -zc- for stem-final -c- before o and a. The group includes nearly all verbs ending in -acer (except hacer and derived verbs), -ecer (except mecer and remecer), -ocer (except cocer and derived verbs), and -ucir. For example:nacer: yo nazco, tú naces...

crecer: yo crezco, tú creces...conocer: yo conozco, tú conoces...producir: yo produzco, tú produces...Yacer may alternatively be conjugated with -zc- (yazco), -g- (yago) or a compromise -zg- (yazgo).Irregular forms in the future, conditional and imperative[edit]Some -er and -ir verbs (most G-verbs plus haber, saber, poder and querer) also change their stem in the future and conditional tenses. This involves:Just dropping the infinitive e: haber → habré..., saber →

sabré..., poder → podré..., querer → querré...Dropping the infinitive e/i and padding the resulting *-lr-/*-

nr- with a -d-: tener → tendré..., poner → pondré..., venir → vendré..., valer → valdré..., salir → saldré...

Dropping the infinitive -ce- or -ec-: hacer → haré..., deshacer → desharé..., decir → diré... Predecir, contradecir and desdecir may share this irregularity (prediré...) or, more commonly, use the regular forms (predeciré). For bendecir and maldecir only the regular forms are used (bendeciré...).

Many of these verbs also have shortened tú imperative forms: tener → ten, contener → contén, poner → pon, disponer → dispón, venir → ven, salir → sal, hacer → haz, decir → di. However, all verbs derived from decir are regular in this form: bendice, maldice, desdícete, predice, contradice.

Anomalous stems in the preterite and derived tenses[

Some verbs (including most G-verbs) have a completely different stem in the preterite. These stems are very old and often are found in Latin as well. The same irregular stem is also found in the imperfect subjunctive (both in -ra and -se forms) and the future subjunctive. This stems are anomalous also because:they are stressed in the first and third persons singular,

ending in unstressed -e and -o respectively (while in all other cases the preterite gets the stress over the suffix).

the rest of the endings are the usual for -er/-ir verbs even for the -ar verbs estar and andar.

in the verbs with -je preterite (conducir, decir, traer...) unstressed i is dropped between the j and a vowel: ellos trajeron, yo trajera... Note that this doesn't happen with regular or vowel-raising -ger/-jer/-gir/-jir verbs (proteger > protegieron, tejer > tejieron, corregir > corrigieron, crujir > crujieron).

Examples:estar → estuv-: yo estuve, tú/vos estuviste(s), él estuvo..., ellos estuvieron; yo estuviera...andar → anduv-: yo anduve, tú/vos anduviste(s), él anduvo..., ellos anduvieron; yo anduviera...tener → tuv-: yo tuve, tú/vos tuviste(s), él tuvo..., ellos tuvieron; yo tuviera...haber → hub-: yo hube, tú/vos hubiste(s), él hubo..., ellos hubieron; yo hubiera...caber → cup-: yo cupe, tú/vos cupiste(s), él cupo..., ellos cupieron; yo cupiera...saber → sup-: yo supe, tú/vos supiste(s), él supo..., ellos

supieron; yo supiera...venir → vin-: yo vine, tú/vos viniste(s), él vino..., ellos vinieron; yo viniera...poder → pud-: yo pude, tú/vos pudiste(s), él pudo..., ellos pudieron; yo pudiera...poner → pus-: yo puse, tú/vos pusiste(s), él puso..., ellos pusieron; yo pusiera...hacer → hic-/hiz-: yo hice, tú/vos hiciste(s), él hizo..., ellos hicieron; yo hiciera...reducir → reduj-: yo reduje, tu/vos redujiste(s), él redujo.., ellos condujeron; yo condujera...decir → dij-: yo dije, tú/vos dijiste(s), él dijo..., ellos dijeron; yo dijera...Irregular past participles[edit]A number of verbs have irregular past participles. This includes verbs which are irregular in many other ways, as poner and decir, but for some other verbs this is their only irregularity (e.g. abrir, romper), while some very irregular verbs (as ser and ir) have regular past participles. Examples:abrir → abierto, morir → muerto, volver → vuelto, devolver

→ devuelto...romper → roto, escribir → escrito...ver → visto, prever → previsto, poner → puesto,

componer → compuesto...hacer → hecho, rehacer → rehecho, decir → dicho,

predecir → predicho (but bendecir → bendecido, maldecir → maldecido)...

pudrir → podrido.There are three verbs that have both a regular and an irregular past participle. Both forms may be used when

conjugating the compound tenses and the passive voice with the auxiliary verbs haber and ser, but the irregular form is generally the only one used as an adjective:• freír → he freído or he frito, but papas fritas.• imprimir → he imprimido or he impreso, but papeles

impresos.• proveer → he proveído or he provisto, una despensa

bien provista far more usual than una despensa bien proveída.

Others[edit]The verbs ser (to be) and ir (to go) both exhibit irregularities in the present, imperfect and preterite forms. Together with ver (to see) and prever (to foresee), they are the only four verbs with irregular imperfect indicative. Their tú imperative forms are sé, ve (for both ir and ver, although mirar is more common than ver in commands) and prevé. Their vos imperative forms are sé, andá (the verb andar replaces ir), ve and prevé.

Present indicative tense Imperfect indicativeser ir ver prever ser ir ver prever

yo soy voy veo preveo era iba veía preveía

as os os os os os os

vosotros/as sois vais veis prevéis erais ibais veíais preveíais

ellos/as son van ven prevén eran iban veían preveían

Remember that whenever the preterite is irregular, the imperfect subjunctive (-ra and -se forms) and the dated future subjunctive (-re) share the same irregularity; indeed, these tenses may always be correctly formed by substituting the appropriate endings for the -ron ending of the third person plural preterite: fueron > fuera/fuese,...; fuere....The verbs dar (to give) and estar (to be) both exhibit irregularities in the present indicative and present subjunctive because their stems cannot be stressed (in dar the stem is just d-, in estar it was originally st-). The form dé is so written to distinguish it from the preposition de. Both verbs are also irregular in the preterite and derived tenses: dar follows the pattern of regular -er/-ir verbs, while estar has an anomalous preterite stem and follows the corresponding common pattern:

Present indicative

Present subjunctive Preterite

dar estar dar estar dar estaryo doy estoy dé esté di estuve

STEM CHANGING VERBSStem Changing VerbsIn all three conjugations of verbs (-ar, -er, and -ir) there are some verbs whose vowels change within the stem. These stem-changes occur in all persons except nosotros and vosotros. These two persons maintain the regular stem. There are six varieties of stem-changes: o->ue, e -> ie, e -> i, i -> ie, u -> ue, o -> hue. Each of these is described below with examples.1. e to ieThis is the most common stem change for Spanish verbs.Conjugation Examplequerer - to wantquiero queremo

squieres queréisquiere quieren

The Boot!As you can see, the stem change is only applied in 1st, 2nd, 3rd person singular and 3rd person plural, forming the shape of a boot in the conjugation chart. The "boot" is a good way to remember which persons have the stem change.Some Common e -> ie Verbsacertar to guess divertirs

AFFIRMATIVE AND NEGATIVE WORDS IN SPANISH

Palabras Affirmativas y Negativas en EspañolIn these notes you will learn more about negative and affirmative words used in Spanish including indefinite pronouns to mean nobody, nothing, someone, something, and many more. Read the explanations and the example sentences carefully to be ready to complete the exercises below to practice and to test yourself.

Libros en la biblioteca

When we want to talk about an indefinite situation, we use an affirmative word.When we want to talk about a negative situation, we use a negative word.

PALABRASAFIRMATIVAS

PALABRAS NEGATIVAS

algo - something nada - nothing

alguien - someone nadie - nobody

alguno/a/as, algún - a, one, any, some

ningún, ninguno/a - none

siempre - always nunca, jamás - never

alguna vez - ever nunca, jamás - never

también - also tampoco - neither

o … o, either … or ni … ni - neither … nor

Alguno and ninguno must match the gender and number of the noun they replace or modify.Note that alguno changes to algún when used before masculine singular nouns.

Similarly, ninguno changes to ningún when used before masculine singular nouns.

• Alguno de ellos. (One of them.)• Un hombre está lavando su coche. (A man is

washing his car.)• Algunos de los muchachos. (One of the boys.)• Algunos hombres están lavando el coche. (Some

men are washing the car.)• Algunas mujeres están lavando el coche. (Some

women are washing the car.)• Algún libro se perdió en la biblioteca. (A book

was lost in the library.)• Algún hijo se perdió en el parque. (A boy was lost

in the park.)• No hay ningún libro en las mesa. (There is no

book on the table.)Note that if you are including the masculine noun, you will use the words algún or ningún. But if you are not including the masculine noun because it is already known, it was already mentioned, etc, you use the form alguno and

ninguno.

7 ¿Están todos los libros en la biblioteca? No, alguno se perdió.

8 (Are all the books in the library? No, one was lost.)

9 ¿Están todos los niños listos? No, ninguno está listo.

10 (Are all the children ready? No, none of them is ready.)

If a verb is preceded by "no", any words that follow must be negative. A double negative is required in Spanish when "no" precedes the verb:• No tenemos nada - We don’t have anything.

[Literally: we don't have nothing.]• No me gusta ninguna blusa - I don’t like any

blouse.However, if the negative word comes before the verb, we don't need to use "no".• Yo nunca veo películas de terror - I never watch

horror movies.• Nadie vio esa película porque era horrible -

Nobody watched that movie because it was horrible.Exercise 1: Look at the pictures and answer the questions with suitable words.Ejercicio 1: Mira las fotos y responde las preguntas con las siguientes palabras.Hints: ningún (x2), algunas, algunos, ninguna, siempre, nadie (x3).
