Infinitive verbs

Spanish infinitive verbs have one of these three endings: ar, er, ir. Being infinitive means that the verb is not conjugated/ is not in any form. So, the English equivalent is when you express verbs with 'to' in front, such as 'to wash,' 'to sweep,' and 'to cook.’

Limpiar – to clean

Barrer - to sweep

19

Escribir – to write Tener que + infinitive is one way to express obligation or necessity. This expression can be translated as “someone has to do something.” Tener is conjugated according to the subject of the sentence.

Tener – to have Tener que – to have to

English Spanish

(I have to) cook. (Yotengo que) cocinar.

I have to sweep the Tengo que barrer el suelo.

You have to iron the clothes (Tú) Tienes que planchar la ropa (forsomeoneyouknow).

You have to wash the dishes (Usted) Tiene que lavar los platos (for someone you don't know well).

She/He has to work. Tiene que trabajar.

They (female/male) have to work. Tienen que trabajar.

We have to set the table. Tenemos que poner la mesa

Hay – there is/ there are Hay Que – One must/ One has to / It is necessary

Hay que is similar to “tener que”. This form is used when talking about a generalization, or an ideal.

In English, hay que would be similar to “one must” or “one has to” do something. It can also be used as the implied subject such as “it is necessary” to do something.

Hay que barrer el suelo – One must sweep the yard

Hay que poner la mesa – One has to set theday

Hay que dar de comer a las mascotas – It is necessary to feed the pets
