I will explain how you should form each of the verbs and how you can use them to make sentences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Necesitar: To need:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 (Yo) necesito: I need<br \/>\n\u2022 (T\u00fa) necesitas: You need (friendly)<br \/>\n\u2022 (Usted) necesita: You need (formal)<br \/>\n\u2022 (\u00c9l\/ella) necesita: He\/she needs<br \/>\n\u2022 (Nosotros\/as) necesitamos: We need<br \/>\n\u2022 (Vosotros\/as) necesit\u00e1is: You need (group\/friendly)<br \/>\n\u2022 (Ustedes) necesitan: You (group) need (group\/formal)<br \/>\n\u2022 (Ellos\/as) necesitan: They need<\/p>\n<p><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Necesito un taxi: I need a taxi<br \/>\n\u2022 Necesito + infinitivo: I need to&#8230;<br \/>\n\u2022 Necesito ir: I need to go<br \/>\n\u2022 No necesito ir: I don\u00b4t need to go<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00bfNecesitas algo?: Do you need anything?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Querer: To want:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 (Yo) quiero: I want<br \/>\n\u2022 (T\u00fa) quieres: You want (friendly)<br \/>\n\u2022 (Usted) quiere: You want (formal)<br \/>\n\u2022 (\u00c9l\/ella) quiere: He\/she wants<br \/>\n\u2022 (Nosotros\/as) queremos: We want<br \/>\n\u2022 (Vosotros\/as) quer\u00e9is: You want (group\/friendly)<br \/>\n\u2022 (Ustedes) quieren: You want (group\/formal)<br \/>\n\u2022 (Ellos\/as) quieren: They want<\/p>\n<p><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Quiero un coche: I want a car<br \/>\n\u2022 Quiero + infinitivo: I want to&#8230;<br \/>\n\u2022 Quiero ir: I want to go<br \/>\n\u2022 No quiero ir: I don\u00b4t want to go<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00bfQuieres algo?: Do you want anything?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preferir: To prefer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 (Yo) prefiero: I prefer<br \/>\n\u2022 (T\u00fa) prefieres: You prefer (friendly)<br \/>\n\u2022 (Usted) prefiere: You prefer (formal)<br \/>\n\u2022 (\u00c9l\/ella) prefiere: He\/she prefers<br \/>\n\u2022 (Nosotros\/as) preferimos: We prefer<br \/>\n\u2022 (Vosotros\/as) prefer\u00eds: You prefer (group\/friendly)<br \/>\n\u2022 (Ustedes) prefieren: You prefer (group\/formal)<br \/>\n\u2022 (Ellos\/as) prefieren: They prefer<\/p>\n<p><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Prefiero el pescado: I prefer fish<br \/>\n\u2022 Prefiero + infinitivo: I prefer to&#8230;<br \/>\n\u2022 Prefiero ir: I prefer to go<br \/>\n\u2022 No Prefiero ir: I don\u00b4t prefer to go<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00bfPrefieres este coche?: Do you prefer this car?<\/p>\n<p>This is all for today\u2019s lesson. \u201cNecesitar\u201d, \u201cQuerer\u201d and \u201cPreferir\u201d are verbs that we use a lot in everyday conversation, so try to practice making different sentences with them as this will help you to memorise them better. Remember also not to change the second verb when you make sentences like \u201cQuiero hablar espa\u00f1ol\u201d (I want to speak Spanish). Never say \u201cQuiero hablo\u201d as you would be saying \u201cI want I speak\u201d. This is a common mistake that students make at this stage.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great week, enjoy your Spanish studies and see you in our next lesson.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Hasta luego!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a1Hola! \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1is?
