The basic form of the verb is the infinitive. Spanish has three different infinitive forms.
 * El Infinitivo- The Infinitive:**
 * //-ar//** **verbs** //hablar// (to speak), //caminar// (to walk), //escuchar// (to listen), //preparar// (to prepare)
 * //-er//** **verbs** //comer// (to eat), //vender// (to sell), //aprender// (to learn), //beber// (to drink)
 * //-ir//** **verbs** //vivir// (to live), //decidir// (to decide), //asistir// (to attend), //escribir// (to write)

Verbs are conjugated to agree with the subject pronoun. To conjugate a verb, replace the infinitive ending (//-ar, -er,// or //-ir//) with a verb ending. Generally, Spanish verbs have six conjugations for each very tense. Each conjugation corresponds to the different subject pronouns. Because of the strong verb system, Spanish subject pronouns can be omitted to avoid repetition: //Yo hablo espanol. Hablo espanol.//
