Jessie: By the way speaking of wine, are there any rules we should know about combining wine and food?
Javier: Well they are not strict rules but normally red wine is drank with meat because of its strong taste and white wine with fish but it’s not the rule. If you like red wine, you can drink it with any food and Vino Rosado is always a good choice.

POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Jessie: Let’s take a look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first one is
Javier: comer
Jessie: An ER verb that means to eat. Let’s see it used in some simple sentences.

Javier: Él come pescado.
Jessie: He eats fish. We will talk more about ER verbs later on in this lesson. What’s the next one we will look at?
Javier: comida rápida
Jessie: Fast food.
Javier: comida is food and rápida is fast.
Jessie: This one is interesting because it’s pretty much a direct translation. Just the order of the words is different.
Javier: Yes that’s right.
Jessie: And the last one
Javier: dieta
Jessie: Diet. This noun has the same meaning in Spanish and in English. The practice of eating food in a regulated fashion to achieve or maintain a controlled weight.
Javier: dieta is a noun and this is used with the verb hacer - to do. For example, Hago dieta para adelgazar.
Jessie: I diet in order to slim down. Alright, let’s move on to the Grammar.

Lesson focus

Jessie: The focus of this lesson is ER verbs in the singular present tense.
Javier: Such as, comer.
Jessie: A verb that means to eat. As we saw in the last lesson, in Spanish, we can classify the regular verbs into three groups. Verbs that end in AR, verbs that end in ER and verbs that end in IR. The endings of all regular ER verbs conjugate the same way and so that’s what we will look at today.
Javier: Remember, we are looking at the present tense.
Jessie: Yes the tense used to talk about current actions or habitual actions.
Javier: Okay then, shall we get started?
Jessie: Sure. Let’s learn how to conjugate ER ending regular verbs in Spanish. We will use the verb comer - to eat.
Javier: Yo como
Jessie: I eat.
Javier: Tú comes
Jessie: You eat.
Javier: Él come
Jessie: He eats
Javier: Nosotros comemos
Jessie: We eat
Javier: Vosotros comeís
Jessie: You plural eat
Javier: Ellos comen
Jessie: They eat. So as you can see, the only part that’s different is the ending and these endings apply to all ER verbs. Shall we see some common verbs belonging to this group.
Javier: Sure, beber
Jessie: To drink
Javier: aprender
Jessie: To learn.
Javier: correr
Jessie: To run
Javier: leer
Jessie: To read
Javier: vender
Jessie: To sell. Okay now some simple example sentences with ER verbs conjugated.
Javier: Yo aprendo español.
Jessie: I learned Spanish.
Javier: Tú lees un libro.
Jessie: You read a book.
Javier: Nosotros corremos por el parque.
Jessie: We run in the park.
Javier: Ella bebe agua.
Jessie: She drinks water. Now it’s time to practice. Listeners, listen and repeat. I drink.
Javier: Yo bebo
Jessie: You learn
Javier: Tú aprendes
Jessie: He eats
Javier: Él come
Jessie: We run
Javier: Nosotros corremos
Jessie: You all understand
Javier: Vosotros comprendeis
