Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Present Indicative: The verb tense used to describe actions happening now, habitual routines, or general truths in the present time.
  • Regular Conjugation: Standard patterns of verb endings applied to the infinitive form for -AR, -ER, and -IR verbs.
  • Irregular Verbs: Verbs that do not follow standard conjugation patterns and have unique forms in the present tense (e.g., ser, ir, estar).
  • Subject Pronouns: Words like yo, tú, él, ella, nosotros, vosotros, ellos, which indicate the subject performing the action and influence the verb form.
  • Stem-changing Verbs: Verbs where the root vowel changes in certain forms (e.g., pensar → pienso, puedes).
  • Conjugation Endings: The specific suffixes added to verb stems to match subject pronouns in the present tense.
