That means they are the verbs(words) with the ending.
They are the verb in its purest form. (untouched)
You would take the endings off and conjugate them.
They are simple: Look below and you will see.
Your examples:
Hablar- to talk
Responder- to respond
Notice they have to in front. (in English)
When you conjugate them they change to : He...(the verb) She...(the verb) ect..
These are the notes my teacher gave me....
? A verb is an action word.
? The main form of a verb is called the infinitive.
In English, infinitives include the word to.
? The infinitive is like a lump of clay that can be molded to match the subject of the sentence it is used in:
I speak
you speak
he/she speaks
we speak
you-all* speak
they speak
Jessica, do not forget the "ing" ending....
Eating pizza everyday is a health hazard.
And another (1) for your patience!
