GC #11: Pronouns after prepositions1. Pronouns can have different forms even
if they refer to the same person.Example: Yo soy Andrea.
Me gusta el helado.2 After preposition like a (to, at), de (of, from, about), and en (in, on, at), the subject pronouns yo and tú change to mí and ti. All other subject pronouns stay the same.
3. Con + the pronoun mí and ti make conmigo (with me) and contigo (with you).
4. To add people to the sentence, use the word a before the name.
Example:A Lisa y a Teo les gusta cantar. A mí me gusta patinar.
GC #12: Present tense of regular –ar verbs1. Every verb has a stem followed by an
ending. The stem tells the verb’s meaning. An infinitive ending doesn’t name a subject.
Stem Hablar endingStem Comer endingStem Vivir ending
2. To give the verb a subject, you conjugate it. To conjugate a
regular -ar verb in the present tense, drop the -ar ending of the infinitive and add these endings. Each ending goes with a particular subject.
Cantar: to sing
Yo canto
Tú cantasÉl cantaElla cantaUd. Canta
Nosotros cantamosvosotros/ascantáisEllos/as cantanUds. cantan
First person
Second Person
Third Person
Singular Plural
Examples:
--¿Cantan ustedes mucho?Do you sing a lot?
--No, casi nunca cantamos.No, we hardly ever sing.
3. Since most of the time the ending of the verb tells the subject, the subject pronoun is normally left out. Use subject pronouns to add emphasis, or when it wouldn’t otherwise be clear who the subject is.
Examples:
--¿Patinan ustedes mucho?Do you skate a lot?
--Ellos patinan. Yo nunca pantino.They skate. I never skate.
