Learn and practice the –AR –ER –IR verbs present conjugation (English version)

Objectives ● At the end of this activity, students will be familiar with the three Spanish conjugations, and will be able to

conjugate regular verbs in present indicative. Also, they will have used them in simple sentences.

Activity Summary Students will learn verbs’ classification into three categories by trying to classify some verbs on their own. Later, they will watch a video where conjugation of regular verbs in present indicative is explained. After preparing a cheat sheet, they will practice conjugation in a team contest that includes: a. saying to what conjugation belongs each verb, b. conjugating it in all its persons, and c. after throwing a die, make a simple sentence in the corresponding person with the help of some expressions that are provided. Time allocation 30-40 minutes Procedure - Activity 1 - Introduction – Discovering the three conjugations

a. Individually, students will fill in the Handout 1, part 1, trying to infer what the three ‘families’ of Spanish verbs are from a sample of 6 verbs (two for each conjugation). After finishing part 1, the teacher shows the video Spanish Grammar: Verb Infinitives (https://youtu.be/B3zEPjRdxmA) that reveals that the infinitive verbs in Spanish end with -AR, -ER o –IR. After that, they use a larger list of verbs (part 2) in order to confirm or reconsider their first guessing.

b. When finished, they will get together in pairs in order to compare (and correct if necessary) the answers (Handout 1, part 1 and 2). Then they will chose from the list the 10 verbs they consider more useful. Each pair explains their list to the entire class. The teacher can write on the blackboard the most ‘popular’ verbs in order to facilitate memorizing.

- Activity 2 – Present indicative for the three conjugations (regular verbs) and oral practice

a. Students watch the video Las conjugaciones (https://youtu.be/dhY5NNH5VBY) and fill out in Handout 2, part 1.

b. In pairs, ask them to analyze the similarities and differences between the endings in all three conjugations on the Handout 2, part 2. Ask them to create a cheat sheet to easily memorize and remember them (Handout 3). Each group must explain their cheat sheet to the class, and the most understandable will be displayed in the classroom for everyone to see.

c. Now, the teacher explains on the board the uses of the present indicative while the students take

notes and write one example on Handout 4. The uses of the present tense: 1. To express actions that are happening now Ella escucha música latina.


Yo preparo la cena. Jorge canta el himno de Estados Unidos. 2. To express frequency or ongoing actions Raúl viaja a San Juan todos los meses. Yo estudio todos los días. Las tiendas abren a las 10am todos los días. 3. Characteristics of things that stay the same Los cubanos hablan español. Mi mamá es puertorriqueña. Todos los bebés lloran.

d. The class in divided into two groups. Each group is given a die. There is a deck of verb cards. In the

first turn, a student from group A takes a verb card from the deck: first, they say to what conjugation group the verb belongs (1 point if answer is correct), then they conjugate it in the present (2 points if all conjugation is correct, 1 point if they make up to two mistakes) and finally they throw the die and make a simple sentence in the corresponding person (1=yo, 2=tú, etc.) using the elements in Handout 5 (2 points for right sentence). When finished, it’s the other group’s turn, who will repeat the steps, and so on.

Suggested evaluation method It is advisable to have a rubric to assess speaking activities in which it should be clear to students how to move from one level to the next. A rubric indicating how a student is Meeting, Exceeding or not Meeting Expectations is the most useful. The suggested “Speaking Production Rubric” can be used (Handout 6). Materials Videos:
