| Verbs
ending -car |
The
only problem with these verbs is that you have to remember
to maintain the spelling of |
 ca-que-qui-co-cu.
|
|
If
you make the error of maintaining the C
and add -E
endings required in some forms of the conjugation, you
will form the incorrect combination of: |
 za-ce-ci-zo-zu |
which
are completely different sounds from the hard
C intended
in the stem. |
|
Whenever
you see that the stem has changed to a qu-
ending, you can assume that a set of E endings
will follow. For AR verbs, this indicates subjunctive
or preterite coming up. |
That
will mean something to you at some point, if you keep
up with your language studies. |
|
When
learning AR verb conjugations especially, concentrate
on the regular verbs in the main tenses. |
|
By
just SAYING these verbs with their normal endings the
utterance will end up being correct. Spelling problems
occur only in the written language, obviously, and that
due to the spellings mentioned above. |
|
| This
group of verbs is actually regular. The only problem that
occurs is that of remembering to use the proper spellings
of the sound chart: ca - que - qui - co - cu in dealing
with all forms of this verb when conjugating. Other than
that, there shouldn't really be a problem.
