welcome back to the complete spanish
grammar series lesson three
we're still seeing the present tense and
we're going to continue seeing the
irregular conjugations
now the super mario world theme is going
to be a constant for the upcoming video
and today's video
in the last one we saw the world one
that had four levels and in today's
video we're going to see the world 2. it
has five levels now
now
just as a summary i want you to remember
that in the very first video we learned
how to conjugate regular verbs regular
verbs are divided into three categories
ar er and ir verbs and you conjugate
them by getting rid of the last two
letters the endings and putting the
conjugation form for every subject pronoun
pronoun
now in video two we learned that not
only you have to conjugate
the endings but also you have to focus
on the letter behind the endings
and in today's video i want you to focus
on the letters in between the verbs in
the middle of the verbs that is going to
be where the irregularity appears the
best way to understand how the five
levels work
is by imagining a triangle but not only
one triangle it has to be an inverted
triangle this inverted triangle has five
levels going from the biggest to the smallest
smallest
the triangle idea is for you to imagine
the amount of perks that fit into each
category being the first one the one
that has the most and being the last one
the very first level uses kere
kerer means to want
and it is an er verb meaning that you
have to conjugate using the er
conjugations query has an e and that is
the letter you have to focus on
when you conjugate kerer you don't
conjugate it as query
that should not be the conjugation you
should conjugate it as quiero
and that is the level's name
e for i e
many people think that you just add an i
but in reality you get rid of that e
and you substitute for an ie
picturing it this way makes it
easier to remember the next upcoming
four levels
now if you remember correctly from the
video two
we learned that only the joe form was
irregular but in this video
all levels will have
all irregular
conjugations except for one this is
literally the opposite from video two
where it was only one and the rest
regular well in this case is going to be
all irregular except for one
that one is constant so it's going to be
the same one in all the legs
so what is the rule the rule says
whenever you have an e behind the ending
or that e is the last vowel behind the ending
ending
you have to substitute the e for i e
so if you have quiro or jo you would
have kieres for it to form
for the he or she in this case el it
would be
por ellios is kieren
but what about nosotros well that is the
one that is never irregular at least in
present tense
that is going to be queremos so there is
no change in the weak word let's see
another birth despertar
now desperate
should be the one that
kind of clarifies
where the e must be
now desperate is an ar verb
so so far
it could be er dna or it could be ar the
ending doesn't really matter what
matters is that it has to have an e
before the ending
now that e
needs to be close to the ending
desperate has to ease but one is closest
to the ending that is the one that
so so far
it's e-r-a-r
or i-r keep that in mind
center has an e it's also one letter
or one vowel before the ending so how do
you conjugate
the i feel
it's yo
now let's see some extra verbs here
where you will have to conjugate them
the very first one is serrat to close
and then there to understand
perra there to lose pain
pain
to think it
so let's give it a chance so how would
okay let's see the answers
so the very first one remembering e for
ie and it's an ar birth
so you have to conjugate it using the ar conjugations
