Questions about Spanish verbs

How do you conjugate a Spanish verb?

Take off the -ar, -er or -ir ending and add the ending for the person and tense. Hablar becomes hablo (I speak), hablas (you speak) and habla (he or she speaks) in the present. Irregular verbs like ser, ir and tener change more than the ending, so it helps to look them up.

What are the three types of Spanish verbs?

Spanish verbs end in -ar (hablar), -er (comer) or -ir (vivir). Each group has its own set of endings, although -er and -ir verbs share most of them.

What are stem-changing verbs?

Verbs whose last stem vowel changes when it is stressed: pensar > pienso (e to ie), poder > puedo (o to ue) and pedir > pido (e to i). The change happens in every form except nosotros and vosotros in the present. The conjugator knows the common ones.

Which tenses does the conjugator show?

Present, preterite, imperfect, future, conditional, present perfect, present subjunctive and imperfect subjunctive, plus commands (habla, hable, no hables), the gerund (hablando), the past participle (hablado) and five common verb phrases.

How do you give commands in Spanish?

For usted and ustedes, and for every negative command, use the present subjunctive: Limpie el área (clean the area), No toque eso (don't touch that), Cierren la puerta (close the door, to a group). The affirmative tú command is the él form of the present: habla, cierra. Eight verbs have a short tú form: di, haz, ve, pon, sal, sé, ten, ven. With reflexive verbs the pronoun goes on the end of a yes command and before a no command: Póngase el casco, No se ponga ahí.

What are verb phrases like voy a hablar?

Verb phrases (periphrases) pair a helper verb with an infinitive or gerund, so you only conjugate the first verb. The most useful ones: estar + gerund for actions in progress (estoy trabajando), ir a + infinitive for plans (voy a llamar), tener que + infinitive for what you must do (tengo que terminar), acabar de + infinitive for something that just happened (acabo de llegar) and soler + infinitive for habits (suelo empezar a las siete). The conjugator builds all five for every verb.

Can I look up a verb in English, or a form like fui?

Yes. Type an English verb such as eat or to remember and it finds the Spanish verb. Type a conjugated form like fui, tengo or hablaría and it tells you which verb and tense it comes from.

Does it work for reflexive verbs?

Yes. Type the verb with -se, like levantarse or ducharse, and every form comes with its pronoun: me levanto, te levantas, se levanta.
