<v Speaker 1>Gain all the info on my website at Latin led

4
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:15.119
<v Speaker 1>dot com. What do Spanish verbs and superheroes have in common?

5
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Let's find out in this episode of Speaking Spanish for Beginners.

6
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Okalo Marco, you're Latino Spanish teacher. If you've been learning

7
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Spanish for a while, you probably heard about regular, irregular,

8
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:37.240
<v Speaker 1>and reflexive verbs. But let's be honest, those words don't

9
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>mean much at first, So in this episode you learn

10
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 1>what they actually do by comparing them to superheroes. Are

11
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>you ready for this? Mas? So? Why verbs? Verbs? I

12
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 1>like learning to stram the right course on a guitar,

13
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>they said, the rhythm and the mode of the conversation.

14
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:08.359
<v Speaker 1>They describe actions. Without them, nothing happens. In Spanish, all

15
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.319
<v Speaker 1>verbs have one of the following three endings are like

16
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:17.599
<v Speaker 1>by lard to dance, er like comer to eat, and

17
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>her like biber to live. These are called infinitives, the

18
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>base form without conjugation. When you hear by lard, you

19
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 1>know it means to dance, but you don't know who

20
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>is dancing. So by lard is the infinitivo, the base

21
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.200
<v Speaker 1>form with no conjugation. Now, when someone is doing the action,

22
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 1>we need to conjugate the verb undepending on how they're conjugated.

23
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 1>Bursts fall into three categories, regular, irregular, and reflexive. So

24
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 1>let's bring in the superheroes to explain how each one works.

25
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with regular verbs. Captain America Steve Rodgers. The

26
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.799
<v Speaker 1>cap follows the rules. He has clear values and a

27
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>steady routine. He is predictable, and regular verbs are just

28
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 1>like that. They follow a consistent pattern, so you always

29
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 1>know what to expect from them. Let's take trabaja to

30
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>work and buy lad to dance as examples. Both are

31
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>regular verbs ending in are trabahar by lad. When they

32
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 1>are conjugated with you I, they become trabajo by law,

33
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 1>I work, I dance with two you travajas bilas you work,

34
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>you dance, so no surprises in the conjugation, same pattern.

35
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 1>Trabajo by law trabajas bilass. Just like the cap, predictable

36
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 1>and strong. Let's continue with the irregular verbs. The hug

37
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 1>the hawk is powerful but unpredictable. You never know what's coming.

38
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Irregular verbs are the same. They break the rules and

39
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.240
<v Speaker 1>don't follow a set pattern. Take for example, the verb

40
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 1>is start to be a star has the same ending

41
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>as trava hard and by lard. Trava hard and by

42
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.159
<v Speaker 1>lar are regular verbs, as we saw in the previous section,

43
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>So when conjugated with you, they have the same engine,

44
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 1>your travajo, your bilow. For a start following the same pattern,

45
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>it would be Joe esto right, but no, it's a

46
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>sty I am Joe a toy. There's no way you

47
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 1>could predict that. Same with hugar to play. If it

48
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:57.159
<v Speaker 1>was like Captain America, it would be your hugo, but no,

49
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>it's your huego. So irregular verbs don't play by the rules.

50
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>You'll need a little bit more time to tame them,

51
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:11.919
<v Speaker 1>just like the Hawk. And finally, reflexive verbs Tony Stark

52
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>iron man. Tony Stark can be regular but sometimes impredictable,

53
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>but what makes him ironman is the suit. Captain America

54
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 1>will still have his superpowers without the suit, and same

55
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 1>with the Hawk, but Tony Stark cannot get into action

56
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 1>without the suit. Reflexive verbs also wear a suit, the

57
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 1>little particle say at the end, and they need it

58
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 1>all the time to function properly. Take for example, the

59
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>verb do charsee to shower. The base verve is do tar,

60
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.480
<v Speaker 1>But the say at the end is essential to charts.

61
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>That say at the end is the suit. So when

62
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>you conjugate it, you need to add the suit in

63
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>some way with you is your may ducho? With two

64
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>is do they doutas they say at the end becomes

65
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:15.439
<v Speaker 1>may they et cetera, depending on the person. But it

66
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.199
<v Speaker 1>has to be present somewhere, and that say shows that

67
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the action happens to yourself. I take a shower in

68
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 1>Spanish is not your ducho, but may doucho. So with

69
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:33.639
<v Speaker 1>no suit in the sentence, without the reflexive particle, it's incomplete,

70
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:38.199
<v Speaker 1>just like the Aroman without the armor, something is missing.

71
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>So let's recap. Regular verbs are like Captain America. They

72
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 1>follow the rules. Irregular verbs are like the Hulk, powerful

73
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 1>but unpredictable, and reflexive verbs are like Aroman. They always

74
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.439
<v Speaker 1>wear a suit. In the case of reflexives, the particle

75
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 1>say and does all for today. Gracias scuta speaking Spanish
