THE PRESENT TENSE OF –AR VERBS

To create the forms of –ar verbs, you first drop the –ar from the infinitive leaving the stem of the verb, then you add the following endings.SINGULA

The verb endings always indicate who is doing the action. They tell you who is speaking. Because of this, you can often use the verb without a subject.
Example:Hablo inglés - Practico deportes.
PRESENT TENSE OF –AR VERBS
