In Spanish, verbs are words that express actions, events, or states of being. Each verb has a base form called the infinitive, which ends in -ar, -er, or -ir.
Verbs are conjugated to reflect the subject (who is performing the action), tense (when the action takes place), and mood (the speaker’s attitude). The three main moods are indicative (statements and facts), subjunctive (wishes, doubts, or possibilities), and imperative (commands).
Regular verbs follow consistent patterns for conjugation:
  • -ar verbs (e.g., hablar)
  • -er verbs (e.g., comer)
  • -ir verbs (e.g., vivir)
There are also many irregular verbs that don’t follow these patterns and must be memorized.
Understanding verb conjugations is key to speaking and understanding Spanish.
