That's why the English translation usually starts with \"to\" (to help, to dance, etc.).\r\n\r\nAll Spanish infinitives end in the letter\u00a0<i>r<\/i>, and the three regular conjugation patterns are classified into\u00a0<i>-ar<\/i>,\u00a0<i>-er<\/i>, and\u00a0<i>-ir<\/i>\u00a0verbs. We\u2019ll learn about\u00a0<em>-er<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>-ir<\/em>\u00a0verbs in the next chapter. For now, let\u2019s look at the\u00a0<em>-ar<\/em>\u00a0verbs.\r\n<h3>Conjugation<\/h3>\r\nRegular verbs ending in \u2013AR are conjugated in the present tense by removing the -AR infinitive ending and adding one of the following personal endings:\r\n<table class=\"shaded\" border=\"1\" width=\"100%\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th colspan=\"3\" width=\"50%\">Regular -ar Verbs<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"22%\"><strong>Singular<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"22%\"><strong>Plural<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td align=\"left\"><strong>First<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>(yo)\u00a0<strong>-o<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>(nosotros)\u00a0<strong>-amos<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td align=\"left\"><strong>Second<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>(t\u00fa)\u00a0<strong>-as<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>(vosotros)\u00a0<strong>-\u00e1is *<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td align=\"left\"><strong>Third<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>(\u00e9l \/ ella \/ usted)<strong>\u00a0-a<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>(ellos \/ ellas \/ ustedes)\u00a0<strong>-an<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 210px\">* Note: This second-person plural form (vosotros) is only used in the variety of Spanish used in Spain. \u00a0In other Spanish dialects the third person plural form (ustedes) is used in both formal and informal plural direct-address situations.<\/p>\r\nNow that we can conjugate some verbs, let\u2019s be sure we understand how to put them into complete sentences.\r\n<h3>Basic sentence structure: statements<\/h3>\r\nThe basic structure of simple sentences in Spanish is the same as in English: subject \u2013 verb \u2013 object. Since the verb will be conjugated differently according to the different subjects, the verb ending will often make it perfectly clear who is doing the action and you can leave the subject off unless you want to clarify or emphasize who is doing the action.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Estudiamos el espa\u00f1ol. (<em>We study Spanish.<\/em>)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>La profesora explica la gram\u00e1tica. (<em>The professor explains the grammar.<\/em>)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Basic sentence structure: yes-no questions<\/h3>\r\nYes-no questions are also quite simple in Spanish, and there are two ways of expressing them: either they have the same word order as a simple sentence and are spoken with a rising intonation instead of falling, or the verb and subject are reversed (verb \u2013 subject \u2013 object). Just be sure to put the upside-down question mark at the beginning and the upside-right question mark at the end of each question. Also note that Spanish does NOT use an auxiliary or helping verb like English (<em>do\/does<\/em>).\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>\u00bfEstudiamos el espa\u00f1ol?

(<em>Does the professor explain the grammar?<\/em>)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Basic sentence structure: negation<\/h3>\r\nAnswering affirmatively is easy, you just say \u201cs\u00ed\u201d (<em>yes<\/em>) and state your answer. To make a negative sentence, just put the word \u201cno\u201d before the verb (subject \u2013 no \u2013 verb \u2013 object). The Spanish word \u201cno\u201d means both \u201cno\u201d and \u201cnot\u201d. And remember that Spanish does NOT use the auxiliary or helping verb (<em>do\/does<\/em>).\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>No estudiamos el franc\u00e9s.

(<em>No, the students do not listen to music in class.<\/em>)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Modal verbs<\/h3>\r\nSome verbs can have another verb as their object; these are called modal verbs. The same person needs to be doing both actions, and the second verb is *not* conjugated.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Necesito ir<\/strong>\u00a0al ba\u00f1o.
