Course It's Free! Free Basic Spanish Lessons 2

Continuing with the FREE basic Spanish course, we are on lesson 2. (If you are following any of the lessons, then I want to remind you to practice often, go over the material often, and practice pronouncing lots of Spanish words).


Lección 2: vivir y tener

Lesson 2: to live and to have


1. Conjugating vivir: to live

(yo) vivo
= I live, (tú) vives = you live, (él/ella/usted) vive = (he/she/you formal) live, (nosotros/-as) vivimos = we live, (ellos/ellas/ustedes) viven = they live (and you all live).

Por ejemplo: Yo vivo
en Pennsylvania. I live in Pennsylvania. Tú vives en los estados unidos. You live in the United States. Juan y María viven en esa casa. John and Mary live in that house. Viven en esa casa. They live in that house. Vivimos lejos de aquí. We live far from here. ¿Donde vive usted? Where do you (formal) live? ¿Donde vive ella? Where does she live? ¿Donde vive Marcos? Where does Marcos live? Ustedes viven en una casa grande. You (plural) live in a big house.

2. Conjugating tener
: to have

(yo) tengo
= I have, (tú) tienes = you have, (él/ella/usted) tiene = (he/she/you formal) have, (nosotros/-as) tenemos = we have, (ellos/ellas/ustedes) tienen = they have (and you all have).

Por ejemplo: Tengo
la llave. I have the key. ¿Tienes sed? Are you thirsty? (Lit. Do you have thirst?). Tienen mucho dinero. They have a lot of money. Tenemos suficiente. We have enough. Tengo que irme. I have to go. Elena tiene las cosas. Elena has the things. ¿Tienen hambre? Are you (plural) hungry? Tengo algo. I have something. ¿Tienes suficiente? Do you have enough? Tim tiene un carro. Tim has a car.
