The -go Verbs

When you're learning the present tense, there's a subset of verbs that are commonly called the -go verbs, because the present tense yo form ends in -go

The verbs in question are usually one of two things: just plain irregular, or regular except for that particular conjugation

The -go verbs include:

tener "to have" -> tengo

hacer "to do/make" -> hago

decir "to say" -> digo

poner "to put" -> pongo

venir "to come" -> vengo

salir "to leave/exit" -> salgo

valer "to be worth" -> valgo

oír "to hear" -> oigo

caer "to fall" -> caigo

traer "to bring" -> traigo

These will also apply to the majority of verbs that are connected to them

-

satisfacer "to satisfy" -> satisfago

componer "to compose" -> compongo

bendecir "to bless" -> bendigo

maldecir "to curse" -> maldigo

prevenir "to prevent" -> prevengo

sobresalir "to stand out/to exceed" -> sobresalgo

atraer "to attract" -> atraigo

And so on

-

These are important to keep in mind for two reasons.

First is eventually when you get to present subjunctive; present subjunctive takes its conjugations from the present tense yo forms

As an example, if decir goes to digo, then you'll notice that present subjunctive looks like diga, digas, diga, digan, digamos

You'll also see some of this for commands, but that's a whole other topic with its own host of weirdness all its own...

The second thing is that many of these verbs will have an irregularity in the future and conditional tenses; not all of them, but enough to be aware of

As an example, tener goes to tengo... but then in future it would be tendré "I will have" and then conditional tendría "I would have / I could have"

...You'll find that the irregularities in future and conditional often come with a D, R, or RR [as an example saldría, haría, querría]

Future and conditional share the odd conjugation patterns but the ending is different; pondré/pondría, haré/haría, diré/diría etc

All of that to say is for present subjunctive if it's irregular in the yo that's the pattern you follow

...and future/conditional tends to take its irregularities from the -go verbs [but not always, as querer is irregular there and there are some others, but in general the -go verbs tend to be a small subset because of expected weirdness]

-

*Small Side Note: There's also one other verb to note technically that is also a -go verb. That is asir which goes to asgo. The verb asir is "to grab/seize" but it's highly unlikely that you'll use it or see it. There are some contexts where you'll see el asa (technically feminine) or el asidero meaning "handle" or more literally "place to grab"... but you almost never see asir in regular usage.

Predominantly if you're saying "to grab/hold onto" you are either using agarrar or aferrar, or in some countries like Spain it's coger

[but be careful about using coger, because in some countries that's quite a vulgar verb for "to fuck"]

I only mention asir because if you look up the -go verbs, they will mention asir but it's not the common verb used for what it means. It's included on the list of -go verbs, and that's usually where people will see it the most. To be clear - outside of the verb list, I can't say I've seen or heard asir used in common Spanish because there are just so many more common verbs to use

[theygender]

One thing I love about learning Spanish is that for the most part everything has very consistent rules and even when a word is irregular the irregularity is consistent. Like tener is an irregular verb with its own special conjugation rules, but any verb that ends with tener (obtener, retener, contener, etc) is conjugated the exact same way. Volver is irregular too but all verbs containing it (revolver, devolver, envolver, etc) will also be conjugated the same, and so on. And these are just verbs, I can't think of a single irregular noun in Spanish

English on the other hand, seems like it has absolutely no consistency. Some of our rules have so many exceptions that there are more words that break the rule than fit it ("i before e except after c" comes to mind) and our many irregularities almost never apply to other similar words

How is someone who's learning English as a second language supposed to remember that the past tense of rise is rose but the past tense of surprise is not surprose, or that the past tense of freeze is froze but the past tense of wheeze and breeze are not whoze and broze, or that the plural of goose is geese but the plural of moose is not meese, or that the plural of mouse is mice and the plural of louse is lice but the plural of house is not hice, or that for a few random words like deer and fish the plural is the exact same as the singular. What the fuck

These first few days of coursework have been mostly topic reviews. I'm finishing everything up quickly, which is nice. It allows me to spend more time with Julien. We have been playing games after I finish up my school work, or we are going out to the park near our house. Sometimes we go out to the pool and swim. Summer went by terribly fast! I am both thrilled and filled with sadness and nostalgia that it is already over.

Tasks Completed:

Geometry - Review of solving systems of linear equations + practice

Lit and Comp II - Studied vocabulary + read two poems + read about evaluating online sources for credibility and took a quiz

Spanish 2 - Reviewed ser and estar, gustar, tener, tener idioms, and verb conjugation

Bible I - Read Genesis 7-8

World History - Completed terminology crossword puzzle + read about Nile River civilizations + read about the "gift of the Nile" and the Rosetta Stone

Biology with Lab - Continued my outline on characteristics of life

Foundations - Read more on alertness + took a quiz on Read Theory + took another learning styles quiz on intelligences and found out that my top three are musical, body movement, and language, but I scored over a 4 (highest is 5) in nature and self, and over a 3 in social, spatial, and math and having over a 3 in any of them indicates that I still use those type of intelligences often to help me learn

Practice - Practiced assigned pieces for 30 minutes and worked on memorization

HOPE U DID WELL ON UR SPANISH FINAL ‼️ GO MEOW

TY TY i think I did rlly well on the object pronouns section. Luckily it was multiple choice and usually two answers are obviously wrong so for 70% of the test I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right lol

the part im most worried abt is the section where we had to decide if a sentence uses a subjunctive, command, or two other tenses that I forgot-- and the thing was I knew which it was most times, but I didnt know the right conjugation?

Usually for subjunctive I could guess based on whichever of the four answers has a different ending than the others (In spanish most/all verbs end in either -er/-ir or -ar (ex. comer - to eat, hablar - to talk, vivir - to live) and you change the ending to conjugate it to different subjects and tenses (ex. comes - you eat, hables- you talk, vives - you live (with some exceptions -er and -ir will usually have the same ending)). Theres also stem changing verbs like tener where, in some forms or conjugations, the base changes. So instead of just swapping out the -er in tener, it turns into tengo (i go))

the way subjunctive works in spanish is you take the stem of the yo/i form (most verbs have the same stem like hablar, but as stated above some change with the yo form), and then you use the opposite ending (so -ar verbs use -er/-ir endings (-es, -e, emos, -en) and -er/-ir verbs use the -ar endings (-as, -a, -amos, -an)) with the exception of the yo form

(I think this is getting confusing so rq im gonna talk abt standard conjugation:

there are five/six conjugations (one is only used in spain tho)-

Yo - I (like I ride my bike to school, I like to eat, etc.)

Tu - you (You ride yoyr bike to school)

El/La/Usted - he/she/it (He rides his bike to school) (El is masculine and La is feminine, Usted is used formally)

Los/Las- They (They ride their bikes to school

Nosotros - We (We ride our bikes to school)

Vosotros/Ustedes You all/plural you (You all ride your bikes to school) (Vosotros is only used in spain. It should also be noted Ustedes always has the same conjugation as Los/Las and thus is usually paired with them in lists like this

For each in the present tense theres different conjugations (I will be using the verb comer (to eat) and hablar (to talk) in order to demonstrate)

Yo: -o (for both -er/-ir and -ar) (como, hablo)

Tu: -es or -as (comes, hablas)

El/La/Usted: -e or -a (come, habla)

Los/Las/Ustedes: -en or -an (comen, hablan)

Nosotros: -emos or -amos (comemos, hablamos)

cool now thats out of the way back to the subjunctive)

Okay as stated above, you put the verb in the 'yo' form, and then you use the opposite ending.

On the test I sometimes could tell which was the right answer if I knew it was subjuctive bcs all of them would use the same ending and one would have the opposite ending, BUT SOMETIMES there were two answers w/ one ending and two w/ another and that made it confusing lol.

Anyway so I def think I got some of it wrong in that section, but i feel rlly confident abt the rest !!!!

Norwegian

Read the January 1st - January 4th posts from Språkkalender 2013, a blog run by employees of NTNU's Department of Language and Communication Studies as a contribution to the government-funded initiative "Språkåret 2013." For each day of the year 2013, there was a post in one of these categories:

Japanese

Reviewed the hiking vocabulary from yesterday

Spanish

Practiced conjugating six basic verbs and forming basic sentences.

Ser vs. Estar

Ser = to be (what something is)

Acronym DOCTOR stands for Description, Occupation, Characteristic, Time, Origin, and Relation

Estar = to be (how something is, temporary)

No estoy casada = I'm not married

Ser is used to express most family relationships, but being married, separated, or divorced is always a temporary condition when it comes to Spanish grammar rules, so estar is used 😅

Tener vs. Haber

Tener = to have (possession)

Used to express age!

(Yo) tengo 28 años. = I'm 28 years old.

Haber = to have (auxiliary verb)

Haber is also used impersonally with the meaning there is/there are, hay is always used in the present tense.

¿Cuántas personas hay en tu familia? = How many people are there in your family?

Hacer = to do, to make

¿Qué haces? = What are you doing?

Hago la cama. = I'm making the bed.

Ir = to go

Almost always followed by a (or al for a + el) for destination.

Voy al cine con mi hermana. = I'm going to the movies with my sister.

Vamos al mercado. = We're going to the market.

Also used to express something will ("going to") happen in the future (ir conjugated + a + infinitive verb)

Voy a caminar a la playa. = I am going to walk to the beach.

Vamos a nadar en la piscina = We are going to swim in the pool.

¿Vas a estudiar esta noche? = Are you going to study tonight?

Mastering the Present in Spanish: Rules and few hacks

Learning Spanish opens the door to a rich and diverse culture, and to master the language, understanding verb conjugation is essential, particularly the present tense. This tense is crucial for everyday communication. The following note will walk you through the main rules for conjugating regular and irregular verbs in the present indicative tense.

Understanding the Present Indicative

The present indicative tense in Spanish describes actions that are currently happening, habitual actions, and general truths or facts. For example:

Yo hablo español. (I speak Spanish.)

Ella come mango todos los días. (She eats mango every day.)

El sol sale por el este. (The sun rises in the east.)

The ABC of regular verbs conjugation: 

Conjugating regular verbs in Spanish is a straightforward process. It involves removing the ending from the infinitives (verbs without any grammatical information that end in -ar, -er, -ir) and adding a new one based on the action’s subject or doer.

Let’s see some examples now.

The verb amar (to love) conjugates to the first person (Yo) form by removing the -ar ending and adding an – o to the stem (the remaining part of the word once you remove the ending).

Yo amo (I love)

Taking the same example of amar, we can now do the same thing for 2nd and 3rd person examples.

tú amas

él o ella ama

nosotros amamos

ustedes aman 

ellos o ellas aman 

Now, let’s do the same thing with the verb comer (to eat)

yo como

tú comes

él o ella come

nosotros comemos 

ustedes comen

ellos o ellas comen 

And with the verb, vivir (to live)

yo vivo

tú vives

él o ella vive

nosotros vivimos

ustedes viven 

ellos o ellas viven 

There are a couple of things to note here…

The ending for all verbs in the first person, Yo form is -o

The form USTED (“you” formal in LATAM Spanish) uses the same ending as the ellos and ellas forms (they).

-Er and ir verbs use almost the same endings except for the nosotros form in LATAM Spanish.

These little observations will help you with the regular verbs. Obviously, there will be some verbs that will not follow the rules. We call those irregular verbs. Those tend to be a nightmare for some. Still, they don’t have to be because even within their irregular chaos, we can find some order to ease memorizing them. The most common ones in the present tense are:

Ser (to be)

Yo soy

Tú eres

Él/Ella/Usted es

Nosotros/Nosotras somos

Ustedes son

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes son

Estar (to be)

Yo estoy

Tú estás

Él/Ella/Usted está

Nosotros/Nosotras estamos

Ustedes están

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes están

Ir (to go)

Yo voy

Tú vas

Él/Ella/Usted va

Nosotros/Nosotras vamos

Ustedes van

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes van

Tener (to have)

Yo tengo

Tú tienes

Él/Ella/Usted tiene

Nosotros/Nosotras tenemos

Ustedes hacen

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes tienen

Hacer (to do/make)

Yo hago

Tú haces

Él/Ella/Usted hace

Nosotros/Nosotras hacemos

Ustedes hacen

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes hacen

Decir (to say/tell)

Yo digo

Tú dices

Él/Ella/Usted dice

Nosotros/Nosotras decimos

Ustedes dicen

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes dicen

Poder (to be able to/can)

Yo puedo

Tú puedes

Él/Ella/Usted puede

Nosotros/Nosotras podemos

Ustedes pueden

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes pueden

Querer (to want/love)

Yo quiero

Tú quieres

Él/Ella/Usted quiere

Nosotros/Nosotras queremos

Ustedes quieren

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes quieren

Venir (to come)

Yo vengo

Tú vienes

Él/Ella/Usted viene

Nosotros/Nosotras venimos

Ustedes vienen

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes vienen

Saber (to know)

Yo sé

Tú sabes

Él/Ella/Usted sabe

Nosotros/Nosotras sabemos

Ustedes saben

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes saben

Dar (to give)

Yo doy

Tú das

Él/Ella/Usted da

Nosotros/Nosotras damos

Ustedes dan

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes dan

Ver (to see)

Yo veo

Tú ves

Él/Ella/Usted ve

Nosotros/Nosotras vemos

Ustedes ven

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes ven

Traer (to bring)

Yo traigo

Tú traes

Él/Ella/Usted trae

Nosotros/Nosotras traemos

Ustedes traen

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes traen

Salir (to leave/go out)

Yo salgo

Tú sales

Él/Ella/Usted sale

Nosotros/Nosotras salimos

Ustedes salen

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes salen

Learning the present indicative conjugation is extremely important. It will give you the confidence and the strategy  to understand other tenses better and, if you think about it, we usually communicate using present tense! So it is the most useful one.

Now, here are some hacks:

Learn the regular verb patterns. You can print the conjugation tables and keep them close to your study area or make bookmarks.

Memorize irregular verbs.

Use Mnemonics and Rhymes to study. Mnemonics and rhymes can be a fun and effective way to remember verb conjugations. For example, you can create a rhyme for each subject pronoun and its corresponding verb ending. Like ‘yo hablo with an O and you talk a lot, tú hablas with AS and you talk fast, él o ella habla with an A, it is a blah, blah, blah, Nosotros hablamos with AMOS, because we are AMIGOS, ustedes, ellos, ellas hablan with AN as they all ran.’

 Use APPs, like Ella Verbs, Duolingo, Babbel, Busuu, etc.

Engage in conversation. There is no better way to learn anything than practicing. So, engage in real conversations with native speakers to practice, make mistakes in a safe environment, and repeat.

Mastering the present indicative tense is a fundamental step in learning Spanish. By understanding the patterns and practicing regularly, you’ll be able to communicate effectively about present actions, habits, and general truths. Remember, practice is vital, so keep at it and enjoy becoming fluent in Spanish. ¡Buena suerte! (Good luck!)

Tener (First Person Conjugation) (Spanish)

[spanishskulduggery]

How can I start learning Spanish?

If you are an absolute total beginner, my biggest recommendation is to check out www.studyspanish.com/grammar and to check out www.conjuguemos.com which are online grammar lessons

Truly what I've found is you start with the fundamentals and you just go through your language learning journey accumulating knowledge, and it always feels like an uphill battle until one day you're aware of all the things you don't know/understand yet, but you also know how to look up what you don't know - and that's how you know you've made it

I personally find that when you're starting Spanish from nothing you need to focus on conjugations and the most essential verbs; most verbs are regular so when you understand the basic rules for -ar, -er, and -ir verbs you can do a lot in Spanish

The most irregular verbs of all time - which tend to be irregular in multiple tenses

ser

ir

ver

dar

estar

tener

venir

decir

querer

poder

poner

hacer

caber*

haber

*caber is annoyingly irregular but not the most super common verb used; it's "to fit (into a space)" like "capacity" so it's useful when you need it, but otherwise more limited

The are other little bits of grammar knowledge that you'll learn as you go, like when to use saber vs conocer, or ser and estar... things that take practice and repetition but let me know if there are any questions you have as you go and I can help give some more insight

There are other things that are important, but less all consuming, like stem-changing verbs [E->I, E->IE, O->UE] or certain irregularities, and exceptions like conocer or little things like fingir or vencer - which are littler things though more easily understood when you have some more experience

You're also going to want to devote a lot of time to the present tense which is the very first tense you're introduced to

Also - Things You Should Know At Each Level - though for your purposes I'd say you're probably A1 and A2 and try not to focus on the rest for now; you'll get discouraged if you think of all the things you don't know, trust me I was there

Subtext and Geology (yes really)

One nice use of subtext in "The Loneliest Planet" is the verbs chosen for the Spanish lesson/game that Alex and Nica played. The words in first round that took place pre-Incident reflect the couple's status quo.

Nica asks Alex to give her verbs to conjugate. Here's what Alex offers.

comidar (to eat)

querer (to want, to love)

poder (can, to be able to)

cojear (to limp)

tener (to have)

Post-Incident, he offers these verbs.

escuchar (to listen)

oír (to hear)

hacer (to do)

Even more importantly, the second round of the game is the first time Nica engages her fiancé in conversation since The Incident. He'd reached out to her several times verbally and physically and was rebuffed. Finally she's reaching out. They're not discussing the elephant in the room, but at least they're talking.

Okay, geology and geomorphology. The film was shot in the Caucasus Mountains of Georgia. It's jaw-droppingly beautiful. Here are some details I noticed.

0:17:30 - An outcrop of steeply dipping metamorphic rock

0:20:00 - Since the field seems to be in the middle of a broad valley carved by glaciers, the boulders may have been deposited as the ice melted.

0:23:00 A lichen-covered outcrop of rock with columnar jointing, probably basalt. Gorgeous!

1:06:00: More travertine than you can shake a stick at

1:46:00: A textbook glacial valley with a little stream cutting a narrow valley at the bottom of it. In the background is an esker and a cirque.

The Loneliest Planet

Gael and his frikkin' heartbreaking movies, I swear!

I'm almost done watching it. At the moment I'm ANGRY. Not sure if that'll be the case after this scene ends.

It's a good sign when a movie riles you up and has you planning to watch it again soon to look for specific directorial choices.
