Grammar Rules & Patterns
Present Tense of -AR Verbs
Yo + verb-o | Tú + verb-as | Él/Ella + verb-a
To say what someone is doing right now, we change the ending of an -AR verb. For 'I' (Yo), change -AR to -o. For 'you' (Tú), change -AR to -as. For 'he/she' (Él/Ella), change -AR to -a.
Adjective Agreement (Gender)
Masculine Noun (el) + Adjective ending in -o | Feminine Noun (la) + Adjective ending in -a
Describing words (adjectives) must match the noun. If the noun is masculine (like 'el mercado'), the adjective usually ends in -o (bonito). If the noun is feminine (like 'la tienda'), the adjective usually ends in -a (bonita).
