Keywords
-er verb - a verb whose infinitive form ends in -er
Hacer - Spanish verb meaning 'to do, doing' or 'to make, making'
Haces - part of the verb 'hacer' meaning 'you do' or 'you make'
Hace - part of the verb 'hacer' meaning 'she, he it does' or 'she, he it makes'
Common misconception
The verb endings stay the same for I, you and she, he, it with -er verbs.
The verb endings change for I, you and she, he, it with -er verbs.
It may be helpful to use actions when completing the grammar sections of the lesson and for pupils to point to themselves for 'I', to the teacher for 'you' and to another pupil for 'she, he, it' to help them when conjugating verbs in the present tense.
