- To mean 'I' with a verb, the -ar verb ending changes to -o, e.g. 'hablo', I speak.
- To mean 'she, he, it' with a verb, the -ar verb ending changes to -a, e.g. 'habla', she, he, it speaks.
Keywords
[l] - pronouced as in 'libro'
[ll] - pronounced as in 'llamar'
1st person singular - form of pronoun and verbs used to refer to yourself
