welcome back to the language tutor friends today i want to talk to you about something that is going to completely open your world up in spanish i mean after today's lesson you are going to really have a new world it's going to be great because we're going to be talking about ar verbs and guess what ar verbs are the most common popular widely used verbs in the spanish language and i'm going to teach you something today that you're going to be able to apply to all of them for the most part and you're going to be able to just learn that verb and immediately start using it right away okay now first of all there are ar verbs in spanish there are er verbs in spanish and there are ir verbs in spanish ir verbs are the least common er verbs are the next uh most used and ar verbs are the most common there are more of those than any other type and uh when you i say ar verb is very simple i'm talking about a verb that just ends in the letters ar okay look at some examples right here hablar cantar buscar okay they're just a couple see they end in ar so they're an ar verb there you go now think back to the chart okay remember i told you to use that chart and print it in your mind it's going to be very important today we're going to use it as a visual organizer that we can apply to every single ar verb in the language and this is what i mean you know you take the verb hablar which means to speak i don't need to teach you how to say i speak you speak she speaks they speak we speak and then you don't have to turn around and learn well kaminar means to walk and now we're going to learn how to say i walk she walks they walk we walk none of that's necessary all you need to do is know that the verb caminar means to walk that's all you need and hablar means to speak and nadar means to swim that's all you need to know all right so pay close attention to this because i'm going to show you how to figure all that other stuff out in one shot all right let's draw the chart on the board really quick we have our three spaces on the left and three spaces on the right and remember up here on the top left everything that's in the top left has to do with me that's the eye section okay everything in the middle left has to do with you talking to one person that i know well and then everything in the bottom left has to do with he she or you formal everything in the top right has to do with we and everything in the middle right has to do with vosotros you plural you and other people you plural and then everything in the bottom right has to do with they or you plural also okay i'm going to give you these endings you might want to draw your chart real quick on your paper just scribble that chart out really quick and i want you to write these endings down right in the top left here's the first ending it's all just the letter o you might be saying what is he talking about an ending we're going to use these endings in just a second i promise you'll understand it and in the middle left we're going to use the the ending as a s okay in the bottom left write this ending ah just the letter a okay so so far we've got oh asa so learn those endings just go ahead and start and praying that under my left hand with o okay go to the right side the nosotros ending is amos amos and the middle right vosotros ending is ice ice okay and then the bottom right is all right let's just take a minute to go over those endings and try to put them in our mind again okay now that doesn't take too long to learn make just try to imprint that in your head now this is what we do let's take the verb hablar okay now you you saw these in a different lesson we've talked about greetings one time um but we use the verb to speak and do you speak spanish hablas espanol and i speak spanish hablo espanol what we're going to do we'll clear the chart off for just a second now that you've got those in your notes and let's take the verb hablar and let's pretend that i wanted to say i speak now first of all we know that we can't just take that word hablar and pull it down and say yo hablar that would not make sense and i'm going to tell you why when a verb an ar verb has its ar still on there it's it's in that form it's hablar that ar makes it mean literally to speak to speak okay literally so if you said uh i need to speak you would say hablar just like that because it literally means to speak when you have that ar at the end and an er verb is the same thing it would mean to do that if it still had the er or the ir on it so the verb hablar means to speak i can't say yo because that would mean i to speak so what we got to do is make some changes just like we do in english i've got to speak i don't say i to speak i have to modify i have to take off that 2. if i was going to say she does that i'd take off that 2 and i'd add an s and say she speaks right so we got to make changes just like we do in english here's how we make those changes first thing we're going to do always is take off the ar now on the verb hablar we take off the ar now we're just left with h a b l now all we have to do is apply the endings okay apply the endings so we're going to say back to i speak i speak yo now think about look on your in your notes on your chart where is the word yo it's on the top left of your chart right everything in your mind has put y'all everything that has to do with y'all or me is up there in the top left correct so think about this if everything has to do with eyes in the top left what ending did i put in the top left oh correct so when i want to say i speak i take off the ar and i simply put the ending o on there yo hablo that's why we said in another lesson we did greetings we said i speak spanish yo hablo espanol i could just say hablo i don't have to say yo okay look at the next one i'm saying you speak you speak spanish okay is in the middle left of the chart so i take the a the the verb uh hablar and i take off the ar i'm left with h-a-b-l which ending did we write in the middle left us a s right that's the ending we put on it hablas that means you speak that's why in the greetings we learn hablas espanol do you speak spanish right now look down here in the bottom left of the chart we've got el ea and usted the ending we put there was ah those three all use the same ending they all use the same ending so he speaks el habla she speaks habla and if i want to be respectful and say usted habla or i can even flip it and make it a question habla usted espanol okay so go to the right side nosotros we speak nosotros hablamos that's the ending we wrote up on the top right now the spain version vosotros hablais is that ending we use for all three of those okay elas all right now let's look at one more verb just because now and i want to i just want to do another example but now i want you to understand that you can apply these endings to any ar verb in the present tense and that's and you've got them all okay so let's look at one more nadar to swim i swim think about it i'm not you know we're not going to go too far in it because i just want you to think what would i do if i'm doing i swim right take off the ar and i'm going to add that ending so yo nado okay you swim [Music] okay at this point when you get oh asa almost like all you have to do is learn the ar verb all i got to do is say hey to walk is kaminar and that's all you need to know now you can go all right what's we walk who's up there in that okay nosotros right or if i were to say to you um i look for buscar buscars the verb to look for i look for okay well bulscart are the ending is oh yo busco what about their they look for in yo you see friends you can apply that to every ar verb out there now of course you know how it is there are going to be a few rule breakers right we're going to have a few irregulars we'll pick those up in other lessons they have a little bit of a difference a little change to them no big deal we'll get those as we progress through okay practice ar verbs here's what you need to do practice on but learn as many ar verbs as you can learn as many as you can there are a bunch and bunch of bunch and bunches of those so learn them because you can just automatically start using them in your conversation all right
