Devereas to dole until the fin.

Join us on a rigorous step-by-step journey to fluency.

I'm Timothy, and this is Learncraft Spanish.

Yesterday we began learning the verb,

Deber, which means something like must.

Let's learn the rest of our conjugations of this verb. We'll begin with the prederate forms, which all rhyme with the prederate forms of

dar. Remember that the word for I gave is di, and the word for he, she, or Usted gave is Dio. The equivalent forms for

Debeer are Debi and Debeo. In each case, there's an accent mark on the last letter.

Incidentally, compare these to the equivalent forms of

Ablar. There we had Ablae for I spoke and Ablo for he or she spoke. Here the

analogous forms are Debi and Debio. So they're kind of similar with the stress on a final vowel,

with a stress on O for the third person,

and on a brighter vowel for the first person.

To practice this, let's do a little quiz

on these four prederate forms of the two verbs.

Ablet, ablo, Debis, and Debio.

I'll mix them up and ask you to come up with the right conjugation quickly.

But I'll also throw in a few present tense forms to help you practice shifting gears.

So, what's the preerate he-she form for

Ablar?

Ablo.

What's the present tense
