| 0:13.7 | Let's explore the verb, Bibir, which means to live. |
| 0:18.6 | Just like in English, in Spanish, when you talk about living, you might use this verb to emphasize the fact that someone is alive, but more likely you're using the verb to talk about where they're living. For example, we're leaving this year. We're going to live in Argentina. We're going this year. We're going to live in Argentina. We're going to live in Argentina. Try it yourself in this next example. Their friends must live here. Sus amigos |

| 1:52.1 | So remember that for deber, we had debo, bebe, debes, and deben. |
| 2:00.5 | For vivir, we have Vivo, |
| 2:03.4 | Bive, Bves, and Biven. |
| 2:07.7 | So the endings are identical to their corresponding endings in |
| 2:11.4 | Deber. |
