conjugation using the YO= I form
In Spanish in order to speak correctly and make sentences in the present tense for the YO form the endings ER, IR, and AR need to dropped and then add "O"
-
Example:
Yo hablo (I speak)
yo como (I eat)
yo escribo(I write)
-
You need to be careful with jugar (to play) and dormir (to sleep). These two verbs are stem-changing verbs. This mean the root changes before you add the "o".
-
For example:
yo duermo (I sleep)
yo juego (I play)
