Prepare to be that the conjugation of Spanish verbs - this theme is not one class, and any attempt to take her "swoop" will only lead to confusion and the belief that Spanish grammar (that's really a surprise!) Is incredibly complex.
This article will be lit most important and necessary, something that will help in the future not to get lost.
verbs in Spanish, unlike English, where there is only the ending -s in the second person, conjugated in all persons.That is why we have a saying in Spanish, we can generally omit the pronoun.Why is it necessary, if the verb already shows, I'm talking about: about it, them or you?But that's not all.Verbs - this is one of the most difficult topics of Spanish grammar.A verb has more than 20 forms, varying:
1) of persons (I, you, you, and so on. D.),
2) numbers (I, we, and so on. D.),
3)time (in Spanish, 15 time forms),
4) Inclination (I do, I would have done, and others.).
A verb can also be employed in the active or passive voice (I have built a house, the house was built by me).
This article discusses only the conjugation of Spanish verbs, ie their change in person and number.
In Spanish, there are three types of verb conjugation, depending on the end in the initial form.The verbs that end in «-ar» conjugated to the first type (eg., Besar - kissing), verbs ending «-er» - the second (eg., Beber - drink), verbs «-ir» - the third(escribir - hiding).There is not, in fact, nothing complicated, just remember the end of each type.Of course, in the formation of the endings are the similarities and its own logic.In all three types of conjugation in the first person singular, the verb would be the end - "o" (beso, bebo, escribo).Let's look further: the end of the second person for the same verb - «-as, -es, -es».Third person singular of all sorts: «-a, -e, -e».Easy to see: and there, and there the second and third type of decline suggest «-e» in the end, but in the end of the first type, we see «a».The first person plural: «-amos, -emos, -imos».It is obvious that this person verbs with the ending "ar" get the ending "-amos", verbs with "er" - the end of the "-emos", gagoly with "ir" ending in "-imos".The similarity with the initial form of the word is obvious.In the second person singular verbs have endings: "-a'is", "-e'is", "-i's", in the second person plural: "-an", "-en", "-en".And here again we can find a parallel with the end of the basic form of the verb, or the fact that the first type of conjugation receives the letter "a" in the end, and the other two types - the "e".By the way, new words in Spanish is inclined to the first type, which gives every reason to consider it a priority in the study.
But, of course, no exception to the rule is necessary.In this case, exceptions to cover that amount of vocabulary that they can hardly be called even exceptions.There is a huge group of verbs that are not conjugated according to the rules mentioned above, - irregular verbs.They, in turn, are divided into two groups:
1) verbs, conjugations that can not be put into any general scheme.For example, the verb ver (to see) leans on individual rules.
2) Irregular verbs that can be grouped on the specifics of the conjugation, and they will be conjugated to the same rules within the same group - the so-called deviant verbs.
number of individual verbs conjugations in Spanish - 21. They just need to learn.But we should not think that it would be such a difficult task.Firstly, these verbs are often used.Second, do not need to gang up on them right away.Once you understand the logic of the conjugations of regular verbs, especially verbs of this group will be immediately evident, and that is well understood - well remembered.
As for deviating verbs, they are six groups.And there is a separation into seven groups.The handbook NI Popova 81 Model released conjugation of Spanish verbs.In fact, the way of grouping does not really matter.
How to teach the conjugation of Spanish verbs?
addition that should break the huge amount of information on the conjugation of verbs in "digestible" pieces and to learn gradually, one by one, it is necessary to build up the development of the material.And then there are two psychological processes that are important in any training: understanding and memorization.Put them in a strictly sequentially.Please understand, then memorization.As has been shown in this article, the conjugation of Spanish verbs is carried out by quite logical scheme.And, despite the fact that the memory still have to actively use, simple awareness can greatly speed up the process.Initially, enough to take a table with the conjugation of regular verbs, or even make it samostotyatelno and try to find all the links and patterns, such as those which have been mentioned above.Once the rules are aware, close, clear, should proceed to a purely mechanical mental work - remembering.This is achieved by constant repetition of exercises that will help to learn how to apply their knowledge.
verb conjugations (Spanish): exercise
What exercises in Spanish, you can choose to consolidate their knowledge of the conjugation of verbs?Basically this exercise, which present a proposal to the missing verb.You must select the correct form of its proposed options or write your own.It is not always effective, because such exercises are seldom really interesting.You can make it easier: try to translate myself phrases of others, their own thoughts, imaginary situations, selecting in each case the correct form of the verb, and then test yourself using the guide.
conjugation of irregular Spanish verbs should also study the sequence.The only thing you should not do is to take a group of verbs and deviating only teach it until it is fully developed.Much better would be to take from each group for some of the most active verbs (and there are such in each group), and their example carefully review the rules of conjugation.Then, learn the words and learn their upotrebyat in the correct form.Only after it achieved with ease them to pass by the other words in each group.It is likely that they will not have to cram, because the scheme is already clear declines.
Thus, the conjugation of Spanish verbs may seem impossible challenge only the beginning.Later, looking back, you'll wonder why all this issue was seen as difficult because the Spanish language is not included in the list of the most difficult languages in the world, in contrast to the Russian or Chinese, which is due to its difficulty in mastering even mentioned in the Book of RecordsGuinness.
