Grammar Rules & Patterns
Present Tense of -AR Verbs (Yo, Tú, Él/Ella)
1. Take the verb (e.g., hablar). 2. Drop the -AR ending (habl-). 3. Add a new ending: '-o' for Yo, '-as' for Tú, '-a' for Él/Ella.
Use this rule to talk about what you, your friend, or another person is doing right now. 'Yo' means 'I', 'Tú' means 'you' (friendly), and 'Él/Ella' means 'he/she'.
Basic Adjective Agreement (Gender)
Adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. If a noun ends in '-a' (like casa), the adjective often ends in '-a' (bonita). If a noun ends in '-o' (like baño), the adjective often ends in '-o' (bonito). Adjectives like 'grande' don't change for gender....
