Do you conjugate verbs in an action?

Question

I am wondering if I need to conjugate the verb or if I leave it in the infinitive version.

For example:

They fill orders: ¿(ellos) llenar órdenes o llenan órdenes?

They do inventory: ¿(ellos) hacer un inventario o hacen un inventario?

Yes, the verb needs to agree with the subject. - aileribel, Jun 8, 2017

Hi, Marissa!

Verbs occurring after personal pronouns should be usually conjugated.

• Ellos caminan - They walk

• Ella caminó - She walked

• Nosotros hablaremos - We will talk

• Nosotros vendríamos - We might come

As for the cases you asked about..:

• They fill orders - Ellos rellenan ("llenan" in Latin America) las órdenes (assuming that orders are forms to be filled out)

• They do inventory - Ellos hacen un inventario

I hope this helps!

Hi Marissa. I can't comment on the correctness of the rest of the Spanish (as "llenar" and "hacer" uses sometimes vary from our "fill" and "do") but as far as conjugation goes, yes, you definitely need to conjugate the verbs to the subjects.
