Key learning points
- We can use the 2-verb future structure 'ir + a + infinitive' to state plans and predictions.
- A syllable is a single sound or 'beat' in a word.
- The 1st person singular present of -ar verbs ends in '-o'.
- The 1st person singular preterite of -ar verbs ends in '-é'.
Keywords
Ir + a + infinitive - 2-verb future structure meaning 'going to + infinitive'
Syllable - part of a word that is pronounced as a separate sound, e.g. 'ba-na-na'
Present tense - describes habitual events in the present, e.g. 'I do'
Preterite - describes completed events in the past, e.g. 'I did'
Common misconception
The present tense and the preterite tense of -ar verbs share the same endings for the 'I' form.
In Spanish, the 1st person of the present tense ends in -o and of the preterite ends in -é. These endings only apply to -AR verbs.
