Verbs are the most important part of speech in a sentence that describes action. They conjugate in three primary tenses (a) present, (b) past, and (c) future. In the Spanish language, the infinite form of the verb occurs in three different endings (a) ar; (b) er; (c) ir. Verb conjugation is a challenge for any new student of the Spanish language, especially for preschoolers who struggle to understand the underlying grammar concepts. Because this subject is of basic importance in the academic context, it requires an in depth review with regular discussion and practice, particularly in the field of speech language pathology. Three participants aged 3.6 to 5.0. years who were Specific Language Impairment SLI exhibiting a deficit in verb conjugation, took part in this study. A screener was utilized to identify individuals with a verb conjugation deficit. The participants had individual sessions twice a week in ten intervention sessions. The intervention sessions include two tasks: (1) introduction of the verb concepts, and (2) interactive learning exercises. Results did not reveal an impact for the three participants who took part in this study. Nevertheless, this investigation supports the notion that children with SLI require more frequent presentations of stimuli to generalize the target verb.
