The infinitive ( infinitivo) form of a verb is its most basic form.
Both English and Spanish have a lot of irregular verbs which simply need to be memorized, but learning the rule for regular verbs makes conjugation much easier.īeing exposed to verbs in context (rather than just in a chart) is also crucial to becoming comfortable using them – not to mention it’s more fun! Learn Spanish online with the Lingvist app to see verbs in context, as well as look over grammar tips to clarify concepts explicitly as needed. In most cases (apart from irregular verbs), the English past tense is formed by adding -ed to the word. Person (singular) Present tense Past tense First person I walk I walked Second person You walk You walked Third person He/She walks He/She walked Most verbs only change in the third person singular (see below) in English, but all verbs change to distinguish when something occurs. Though native speakers may not notice it, English verbs also change depending on who and when the action occurs. For more on the different person categories and personal pronouns in Spanish, see this guide. Spanish uses one extra person category that corresponds to addressing “you all / you guys” in English. The form of a verb changes to show who perpetrated the action (the person) and when it occurred (the tense). Verbs that end in -ir are less common than their -er and -ar siblings but no less important! How Verbs Change Each of these verb categories have specific rules governing how they change to express layers of crucial information about the situation. All Spanish verbs end in either -ir, -er, or -ar.
