Question

Paralee Whitmire mentions being inside the boot when she talks about verb conjugations. What does that mean?

Answer 1

1st person, singular

2nd person, singular

3rd, person, singular .......3rd person, plural

see the boot shape? (it is all the persons minus nosotros (1st person, plural) and vosotros (2nd, person, plural)

The "boot" conjugations are used mostly when explaining which verbs stems change with stem changing verbs.

I found a nice PowerPoint slideshow explaining it, but I couldn't get the link to it to work. OK, I got it now.

Answer 2

Its when the "I" "You(singular)" "He/She" and "They" all have the same endings in the verb conjugation. This also happens in other languages such as French.
