             TASK 2 
                           In learning Spanish, verb conjugation is an essential skill to learn. 
                             But…What is a verb conjugation? To conjugate a verb we need: 
                                                                                                     
                                                                          Subject pronoun + verb 
             Verbs are actions done by the subject. In Spanish, verbs are designated to the different types of 
             person (subject pronouns). 
              
                                                                          Spanish subject pronouns: 
                                                         I                    You                               He                       She 
              Singular 
                 Plural 
                                                               We                         You both                            They                     
              
              
             The subject pronouns are often called the persons of verb conjugation. Each person of the 
             Spanish pronouns is associated with a verb with a different ending.  
             When verbs are used in Spanish, they are assigned a singular (only one person) and plural 
             (more than one person). 
              
              
              
           
                                                                     Example: 
                                                  Verb conjugation of ‘to eat’ (COMER) 
           
                    Subject pronoun + verb                           Subject pronoun + verb 
                                                                                                                                      
                                      I eat                                                                         Yo              como 
                                     You eat                                                                    Tú              comes 
                                     He/She eats                                                            Él/Ella        come 
                                     We eat                                                                     Nosotros    comemos                    
                          
                                     You both eat                                                           Vosotros    coméis 
                                     They eat                                                                  Ellos/Ellas  comen 
           
          Subject pronouns just need to be translated from English to Spanish. 
           However, the verb ‘comer’ cannot be used for all the subject pronouns. Instead, the verb must be 
          conjugated ( root of the word: COM + different suffix depending on the pronoun). 
           
          If you remember these suffixes for each pronoun, you will be able to conjugate any verb from the 
          green box (those ending in –ER). 
           
           
                                -o 
                                                                             
                                -es 
                                -e 
                                -emos 
                                -éis 
                                -en 
           
                                 
                                                                                                                            
           
           
           
                            
     
                                               
     
    TASK 1: Complete the sentences with the missing verbs of ‘comer’ (to eat) according to the 
    different pronouns. Follow the table above if it’s necessary. Finally, translate these 
    sentences to English. 
     
     
        1. Él _________ espaguetis.               
        2. Nosotros __________ una ensalada. 
     
        3. Tú _________ una manzana.  
        4. Ella __________ una tarta.                  
          5. Vosotros ____________ una hamburguesa con queso. 
     
        6. Ellos _________ arroz. 
        7. Yo ________ una pizza. 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
                  
            
           TASK 2: Let’s create a window of verbs using ‘-ER verbs’! This window should include 
           subject pronouns in English and Spanish in the front page. Then, it’s time to conjugate the 
           verb in the inside! Have a look at my window (I chose the verb ‘comer’) and have a go with your 
           own one.  
                                                                                                                                              
            
                                                                                                                                                                         
                                                  
            
           STEPS: 
           For this craft you will need: a rectangle of paper, scissors and your Spanish skills! 
           1. Cut a rectangle from your paper and fold the sides equally to create a window. 
           2. Conjugate ANY verb from the green box (those ending in –ER) in the inside of your window 
           following the rules of the suffixes.  
           3. Fold your window and decorate it! 
           4. Don’t forget to write the subject pronouns at the front!
