irregular verbs

There are quite a few irregular verbs in Spanish. "Irregular" means that they do not necessarily follow the pattern for endings that regular -ar, -er, -ir verbs follow. The only way to remember which verbs are irregular and what the conjugations are is to memorize them. Below you will see a few commonly used irregular verbs:

Ser - to be

estar to be

ir - to go

Some irregular verbs are called "stem-changers". You will see more of these in the next lesson. Other are called "yo-go" verbs meaning that the "yo" form ends in "-go" rather than just "-o". Below you will see a few examples:

tener - to have  

(Tener is also a stem-changer)

hacer - to do/ to make

 

 

Poner to put/to place

 

Vener - to come

(Vener is also a stem-changer)
