A comprehensive overview of Spanish verb conjugation, explaining how to change verb forms to match subject, tense, and mood.

Spanish verb conjugation is the process of changing the ending of a verb to indicate who is doing the action (the subject), when the action is happening (the tense), and the manner or mood of the action. Spanish verbs are divided into three groups based on their infinitive endings: -ar, -er, and -ir. Each group follows regular patterns, but there are many irregular verbs that must be memorized. Conjugations appear in different forms for subjects (yo, tú, él/ella, nosotros, vosotros, ellos), and across tenses like present, preterite, imperfect, future, and moods such as indicative, subjunctive, and imperative.
