In this section, we will gain a solid familiarity of pronouns and infinitive verbs separately before we combine these ideas to begin work on creating short sentences. Part 2: Lesson Subject Pronouns Classes of gender and number also exist within subject pronouns. These two sections, gender and number, determine how nouns are treated within a sentence. In Spanish, it is common for subject pronouns to be omitted, as they are incorporated as part of a verb conjugation. We will begin verb conjugations next.

Part 3: Lesson The general formula for creating verb conjugations is to replace the infinitive verb ending (-ar/-er/-ir) with the appropriate ending of the subject. Although there are three verb-ending categories, -er and -ir verbs tend to share most of the conjugation endings. Conjugated Verbs:Present Tense Subject - Verb Ending Conjugations In Spanish, verbs are conjugated depending on the subject they are associated with, as well as the tense. For now, we will focus on Present Simple Tense Each subject pronoun is associated with a particular verb-ending type.
