Keywords
[e] - pronounced as in 'elefante'
[i] - pronounced as in 'idea'
Present tense - describes habitual events in the present: 'I do', 'we do'
-ar verbs - a group of infinitives that end in -ar
1st person plural - form of the verb used to refer to I and others, i.e. we
Common misconception
When we conjugate the verb we just add the ending to the infinitive.
In Spanish when we conjugate a verb, first, we remove the -ar ending and then add the correct ending depending on who is doing the action of the verb.
Teacher tip
The teacher might want to do a conjugation competition with the whole class. They could use all the -ar verbs the pupils have learned so far, and ask them to conjugate a verb by giving them the person of the verb learned so far.
