Subject pronouns The subject of a sentence tells who is doing the action. You often use people s names as the subject: Gregorio escucha msica. Ana canta y baila. Gregory listens to music. Ana sings and dances.

Subject pronouns
You also use subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they) to tell who is doing an action. The subject pronouns replace people s names: l escucha msica. Ella canta y baila. He listens to music. She sings and dances.

Subject pronouns

Here are all the subject pronouns in Spanish:

Subject pronouns
T, usted, ustedes, and vosotros(as) all mean you. Use t with family, friends, people your age or younger, and anyone you call by his or her first name. Use usted with adults you address with a title, such as seor, seora, profesor(a), etc. Usted is usually written as Ud. In Latin America, use ustedes when speaking to two or more people, regardless of age. Ustedes is usually written as Uds. In Spain, use vosotros(as) when speaking to two or more people you call t individually: t + t = vosotros(as). Use ustedes when talking to two or more people you call usted individually.

Subject pronouns
If a group is made up of males only or of both males and females together, use the masculine forms: nosotros, vosotros, ellos. If a group is all females, use the feminine forms: nosotras, vosotras, ellas.

Subject pronouns You can combine a subject pronoun and a name to form a subject. Alejandro y yo = nosotros Carlos y ella = ellos Pepe y t = ustedes Lola y ella = ellas

Present tense of ar verbs

Present tense of ar verbs You already know that the infinitive forms of Spanish verbs always end in -ar, -er, or -ir. The largest group of verbs end in -ar. Hablar is one of these -ar verbs. You will want to use verbs in ways other than in the infinitive form. To do this, you will drop the -ar ending and make changes.

Present tense of ar verbs

To create the forms of most -ar verbs, you first drop the -ar from the infinitive, leaving the stem: hablar habl-

Then you add the verb endings -o, -as, -a, -amos, -is, or -an to the stem.

Present tense of ar verbs

Here are all the forms of hablar:

(yo) (t)

hablo hablas

(nosotros) hablamos (nosotras) (vosotros) (vosotras) hablis Uds. (ellos) (ellas) hablan

Ud. (l) habla (ella)

Present tense of ar verbs

In Spanish, the present tense form of a verb can be translated into English in two ways: Hablo espaol. I speak Spanish. I am speaking Spanish.

Present tense of ar verbs

The verb endings always indicate who is doing the action. In this case, they tell who is speaking. Because of this, you can often use the verb without a subject: Hablo ingls. Hablas espaol?

Present tense of ar verbs

Subject pronouns are often used for emphasis or clarification. Ella habla ingls pero l habla espaol.

The letter c In Spanish the pronunciation of the letter c depends on the letter that follows it. When the letter c comes before a, o, u, or another consonant, it is pronounced like the c in cat. Listen to and say these words: computadora tampoco correr cantar cmo practicar escuela tocar Carlos

The letter c

When the letter c comes before e or i, most Spanish speakers pronounce it like the s in Sally. Listen to and say these words: veces hacer sociable once gracioso doce gracias trece

The letter c
Try it out! Listen to this rhyme. Listen particularly for the sound of the letter c. Then repeat the rhyme. Cero ms cuatro, o cuatro ms cero, siempre son cuatro. No es verdadero?

always true

The letter c
Say the rhyme again, first replacing cuatro with doce, then replacing cuatro with trece. Then say the rhyme quickly several times. Cero ms cuatro, o cuatro ms cero, siempre son cuatro. No es verdadero?

always true

With a population of more than 100 million people, Mexico is the most populous Spanish-speaking country. It has been shaped by ancient indigenous civilizations, European colonialism, and immigration, as well as by its proximity to the United States.

The Mayan city of Tulum, situated on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean, was a major port from about 1200 until the Spaniards arrived in the early 1500s. The Mayan civilization dates from 750 B.C., and includes ancient cities throughout southern Mexico, including the Yucatan Peninsula, and parts of Central America. Today many people in these areas speak one of approximately 30 languages and dialects that developed from ancient Maya.
