Talk about games and activities people play.
The idea
Jugar means to play. In the present, u changes to ue except in jugamos and jugáis. Use jugar a with a game; a el becomes al.
| yo | juego |
| tú | juegas |
| él / ella / usted | juega |
| nosotros / nosotras | jugamos |
| vosotros / vosotras | jugáis |
| ellos / ellas / ustedes | juegan |
Examples
- Juego al ajedrez con mi abuelo.I play chess with my grandfather.

- Vosotros jugáis en el parque.You play in the park.
