Third Person Verbs
Spanish Classes / / November 13, 2021
Verbs in the third person grammatical state that the action is directed at one person (singular or plural) found absent in the communicative act. The third person grammatical pronouns are: he she(singular)they,they(plural). These pronouns inherently express the third person.
For its part, verbs manifest the third person in their form. A verb changes its form or bends according to the person to whom it refers; In addition to the third person, we have the first person (the action is carried out by the issuer or the same subject who states the action: I we) and the second person (the action is directed towards a subject who is present in the communicative act: you, you, you, you, you). For example, the verb believe: i I think(first person), your do you think(second person), U.S we believe(third person), they believe (third person).
Third person grammatical forms
The third person grammar can be conjugated in two ways according to its number; that is, according to the number of participants in the communicative act. In this way, there is the third person singular and the third person plural:
1. Third person singular: the action is aimed at an individual person who is absent in the communicative act (he she). For example:
- “My sister spend a lot of money on his personal care ”. The verb spend is conjugated in the present indicative for the third person singular: (her) spend.
- "The police achievement arrest the suspect ”. The verb achievement is conjugated in the past indicative for the third person singular: (he) achievement.
2. Third person plural: the action is aimed at a plural person who is absent in the communicative act (they, they). For example:
- "The children they surprised for how well they behaved ”. The verb they surprised is conjugated in the third person plural: (they) surprised.
- “Electricity bills they will arrive very expensive this month ”. The verb they will arrive is conjugated in the future indicative for the third person singular: (they) they will arrive.
