0:00.0	We're going to continue where we left off last time. We were looking at verbs, regular
0:19.2	AR verbs in the present tense. And today we're going to be doing this in the context of
0:23.9	daily routine and learning just what time you do certain things at. So, I hope you enjoyed
0:29.6	this lesson. So, we're going to begin by looking at what we did last time. Last week we were
0:38.7	looking at verb conjugations, looking at all the different parts of a verb and being able to see
0:44.8	I work, you work, you work, she works and so on. Today we're going to build in this and look at some
0:51.7	other verbs, some of which follow the same patterns and others which follow slightly different
0:56.7	patterns. Let's begin by running through Trabajar again. Trabajar meaning cara. To work. To work,
1:07.2	indeed. So, I work is... Trabajo. Trabajo, Trabajo. Okay, and you work when you're talking
1:19.9	directly to a friend. Trabajas. Trabajas, muy bien. Now, what about he or she works? Trabajo.
1:34.9	Trabajo. So, we've got Trabajo, Trabajas, Trabajo. What about if we were talking about we work?

2:00.0	group of people and saying you work. Trabajáis. Trabajáis. Yep, that is the form that's used in
2:11.4	Spain and some other parts of the Spanish-speaking world, but mostly in Spain. If you were talking to
2:17.1	a group of people in Latin America, what form would you use? Trabajan. That's it. It's the same
2:27.6	form as you would use for they work. So, Trabajan can mean they work and also you plural work.
2:35.8	Now, if you were thinking about the polite forms, there are two polite forms in the singular.
2:40.9	You would say Usted. Trabaja. That's it. Usted, Trabaja. And Ustedes, the plural form would be.
2:53.0	Trabajan. Muy bien. Let's run through the whole verb together in the six forms and see if you
2:58.4	can work at which part is which. So, Trabajo. Trabajo. Trabajas. Trabajas.
3:09.5	Trabaja. Trabajamos. Trabajáis. Trabajáis. Trabajan. Trabajan. Muy bien. Muy bien. Okay,
3:24.5	today we're going to use the same form with another verb. Let's take the verb desayunar.
