In the last lesson we learned about the regular verbs ending in ‘ar. Now we will build work on just memorizing some verbs and conjugating them. All of the verbs listed below are regular verbs and are conjugated by removing the stem ‘ar’ and adding the endings o, as, a Plural: amos, áis and an.

Below are some very common verbs you should memorize and practice using out loud and in writing exercises.

Trabajar- To work

I work - Trabajo
You work (familiar)- Trabajas
You work (formal) - Trabaja
He, She it works - Trabaja
We works - Trabajamos
You work (familiar)- Trabajáis
You, they work (plural) - Trabajan

Tip! Learning the Spanish alphabet requires only learning three more letter than are found in the English alphabet. These include ch (che), ll (elle) and ò (eòe)

Dialogue using the verb Trabajar:
First Person: ¿Dónde trabaja Sean? Where does Sean work?
Second Person: Sean trabaja en un restaurante. Sean works in a restaurant

Dialogue using the verb Comprar:

Second Person: No compro gasoline. No I didn’t buy gasoline.

Tip! I would heartily recommend Rocket Spanish to those who are willing and able to learn the language. However, ensure you have the diligence required

Tip! While some people may choose to take Spanish classes at a local college or University, this is not always easy for people with busy lives. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to start learning the Spanish language, you may want to consider the benefits of learning Spanish online.

Dialogue with the verb Pagar:

Tip! Rocket Spanish is an MP3 course available online and its bold sales copy would imply it represents the easiest way to learn Spanish.

For additional exercises to help you with these verbs, try to write sentences with each form of the verb. Try to use different vocabulary words each time. There are many verbs that do not follow the regular verb rules and we will be covering them in future lessons.
