great number of Countries that are
Spanish native speakers. This along
with the growing number of Spanish
speakers in other countries and
Secondary Spanish speakers. Spanish
has become a powerful language to
communicate with. We have already
gone over the Spanish pronouns in
this class. Using a pronoun with a
verb changes the verb which is called
a conjugation.
• We will be working with ar, er, and ir
verbs seeing how the pronoun effects
the verbs change.

3. Task
