The endings to the verbs in Spanish change depending on the pronoun as it does in English.Note that only usted,meaning you, appears in the Spanish sentences with the same ending as in she or he.Usted is abbreviated to V orVd.The plural
ustedes (VV. or Vds.) takes the same endings as they.
The following will demonstrate what I mean:

• ¿Habla Juan español?=Does John speak Spanish?
• Si,señor,habla español.=Yes,sir,he speaks Spanish.
• ¿Qué idioma habla usted?=What language do you speak?
• Hablo inglés.=I speak English.
• ¿Vive usted in España?=Are you living in Spain?
• No vivo en España.=I do not live in Spain.

In the introduction,there is a section with the verbs that end in -ar. In addition to
the ones that end in -ar,there are those that end in -er and -ir. If the
endings are dropped,the stem,or radical,remains,to which are added the personal endings.
The following are examples of such verbs:

• hablar
• vender
• vivir

There are three English forms that correspond to the one in Spanish form of the verbs:

In Spanish ,questions are asked by placing the subject of the sentence after the verb.

¿Habla Juan? = Does Juan speak? Is Juan speaking?

You might have noticed an inverted question mark ¿ preceding a question.

To make a sentence negative,place no,not,before the verb: No hablo=I am not speaking,I do

not speak.
