An infinitive is a verb that is not conjugated and ends in AR, ER, or IR. Infinitive verbs always mean to. 2. In order to conjugate a regular verb, you must drop the AR, ER, or IR ending and then add the appropriate ending based on the subject. 3. A stem changing/ boot verb has regular AR, ER, and IR endings, but the stem of the verb changes (o ue, e ie, or u ue) in all forms except the nosotros and vosotros forms. 4. Querer is an e ie stem changing/ boot verb that means to want. 5. Ir is an irregular verb that means to go. 6. Jugar is a u ue stem changing/ boot verb that means to play when talking about a sport or a game. 7. To conjugate a regular AR verb, you must drop the AR ending and add o, as, a, amos, áis, or an. 8. When using infinitive verbs with gustar and encantar, you always use the singular form of the gustar like verb, regardless of the number of infinitive verbs that follow. 9. When using an infinitive verb with the verb querer, querer matches the subject and the following verb always remains in the infinitive. This is the case any time you have two verbs next to one another: the first verb is conjugated, and the second is in the infinitive form.
Language of Instruction 10. A preposition or prepositional phrase shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word or element in the clause. If a prepositional phrase is removed from a sentence, the remaining words still form a complete sentence. (She arrives after school.) 11. A prepositional pronoun is a form of a personal pronoun that is used as the object of a preposition. (Bobby likes to eat pizza with me.) 12. Although conjunctions do not exist in the same manner as in English (can t, don t), the words a, de, and con may form conjunctions. (al, del, conmigo). 13. Weather is often expressed using the verb hacer, but we conjugate llover (to rain) to llueve and nevar (to snow) to nieva.
