WHAT IS IT?
There are so many ways of writing one doing word that it gets a bit confusing! We know that 'sang' , 'sing', 'sings', 'will sing' all have to do with the action of singing. The only difference between them is when it happened:
'sang' happened in the past
'sing' and 'sings' happen in the present
'will sing' happens in the future.
The infinitive version of all the different forms above is :
'TO SING'
In Spanish it is very similar… to a degree. Instead of adding 'TO' at the front of the verb, the Spanish add two letters at the end:
* llegar = To arrive
* cortar = To cut
* Dar = To give
* Jugar = To play
* comer = To eat
* nadar = To swim
* hablar = To speak
* mirar = To watch
As you can see the two common letters are '-ar'. The majority of verbs en up in -ar (that's good news as it means most behave in the same way! Learn the endings of one by heart and you automatically know the endings for all the others!). However some verbs end up with the letters -er and others with the letters -ir. There is no real reason for that so it is not something to understand, just something to accept.
Remember that if all this sounds complicated, it is actually designed to make your life easier! Don't hesitate to ask your teacher if you need more help!
