• Él / Ella necesita He/She needs

Hey, howd you do that?

• Well, for verbs that end in -AR like Necesitar
• Its kind of like a math problem using
  subtraction and addition.
• First we have to subtract the -AR and then we are
  left with the stem or necesit-.
• Now we have to add the ending and it has to match
  the subject pronoun of the sentence.

-AR verb endings

• The endings for regular -AR verbs
• Yo -o
• Tú -as

Using mathYo (I)

To conjugate QUERER (to want)

Yeah, but QUERER looks different

• Thats because QUERER is an irregular verb. Its
  called a stem changing -ER verb. The E in the
  first syllable changes to IE.
• Drop the -ER ending, change the stem to QUIER-
• Then add the endings for -ER verbs.

One more thing

• If you put a question mark in front and behind a
  statement, it becomes a question.

• Necesita él un cuaderno?-Does he need a notebook?

22
No question mark

• Without the question marks, its simply a
  statement.
