What do Spanish verbs and superheroes have in common? Let's find out in this episode of Speaking Spanish for Beginners. Okalo Marco, you're Latino Spanish teacher. If you've been learning Spanish for a while, you probably heard about regular, irregular,
and reflexive verbs. But let's be honest, those words don't mean much at first, So in this episode you learn what they actually do by comparing them to superheroes. Are you ready for this? Mas? So? Why verbs? Verbs? I like learning to stram the right course on a guitar, they said, the rhythm and the mode of the conversation. They describe actions. Without them, nothing happens. In Spanish, all verbs have one of the following three endings are like by lard to dance, er like comer to eat, and
her like biber to live. These are called infinitives, the base form without conjugation. When you hear by lard, you know it means to dance, but you don't know who is dancing. So by lard is the infinitivo, the base form with no conjugation. Now, when someone is doing the action, we need to conjugate the verb undepending on how they're conjugated. Bursts fall into three categories, regular, irregular, and reflexive. So let's bring in the superheroes to explain how each one works.
Let's start with regular verbs. Captain America Steve Rodgers. The cap follows the rules. He has clear values and a steady routine. He is predictable, and regular verbs are just like that. They follow a consistent pattern, so you always know what to expect from them. Let's take trabaja to work and buy lad to dance as examples. Both are
regular verbs ending in are trabahar by lad. When they are conjugated with you I, they become trabajo by law, I work, I dance with two you travajas bilas you work, you dance, so no surprises in the conjugation, same pattern. Trabajo by law trabajas bilass. Just like the cap, predictable and strong. Let's continue with the irregular verbs. The hug the hawk is powerful but unpredictable. You never know what's coming. Irregular verbs are the same. They break the rules and
don't follow a set pattern. Take for example, the verb is start to be a star has the same ending as trava hard and by lard. Trava hard and by lar are regular verbs, as we saw in the previous section, So when conjugated with you, they have the same engine, your travajo, your bilow. For a start following the same pattern, it would be Joe esto right, but no, it's a sty I am Joe a toy. There's no way you
could predict that. Same with hugar to play. If it was like Captain America, it would be your hugo, but no, it's your huego. So irregular verbs don't play by the rules. You'll need a little bit more time to tame them, just like the Hawk. And finally, reflexive verbs Tony Stark iron man. Tony Stark can be regular but sometimes impredictable,
but what makes him ironman is the suit. Captain America will still have his superpowers without the suit, and same with the Hawk, but Tony Stark cannot get into action without the suit. Reflexive verbs also wear a suit, the little particle say at the end, and they need it all the time to function properly. Take for example, the verb do charsee to shower. The base verve is do tar, But the say at the end is essential to charts.
That say at the end is the suit. So when you conjugate it, you need to add the suit in some way with you is your may ducho? With two is do they doutas they say at the end becomes may they et cetera, depending on the person. But it has to be present somewhere, and that say shows that the action happens to yourself. I take a shower in
Spanish is not your ducho, but may doucho. So with no suit in the sentence, without the reflexive particle, it's incomplete, just like the Aroman without the armor, something is missing. So let's recap. Regular verbs are like Captain America. They follow the rules. Irregular verbs are like the Hulk, powerful but unpredictable, and reflexive verbs are like Aroman. They always wear a suit. In the case of reflexives, the particle say and does all for today. Gracias scuta speaking Spanish
