This page is for learning conjugation of Spanish verbs and pronouns. The pages given in parenthesis are found in the textbook Ya Converso Más.
Endings: Spanish verbs come in three endings: -ar, -er, and -ir. Examples: andar, comer, vivir.
Infinitives: Each of the examples above is in the infinitive. In English, saying the infinitive of a verb is when we say "to" plus the verb, like "to walk." (pages 175, 281)
Regulars: Verbs that follow the rules of conjugation are called regular. These are easy to learn. (pages 76-78, 82-84, 88-90)
Irregulars: Verbs which do not follow the rules are called irregular. Sorry, but the verbs used most often are irregular. That's true in any language. Some only are irregular in the first person, such as conocer, hacer, poner, saber, salir, traer. Otherwise, these verbs follow the rules .
Stem Changing: These are verbs where a letter in the stem, or root, of the word changes to another letter or letters. Examples: tener - tiene; poder - puede; jugar - juega; pedir - pide. (pages 151-152, 174-176, 196-197, 257, 300-302)
Reflexive: Many verbs can become reflexive. They are used to describe an action upon yourself. The infinitive of a reflexive is identified by "se" on the end. An example is bañarse. Se baña Marco cada mañana. (pages 190-194, 200-202, 206-207)
