Spanish Verb Table

The following Table presents model conjugations for all regular and irregular Spanish verbs. Section §01 outlines the full conjugation of all tenses for regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs. Regular verbs included as entries in the Dictionary are not specifically referenced to the Table. Sections §02 to §85 contain model conjugations for irregular Spanish verbs. These models include only those tenses in which an irregular conjugation occurs, with the irregular forms within each tense highlighted in boldface type. Irregular verbs included as entries in the Dictionary are referenced by number to the appropriate model in the Table.

Note that two forms are offered for the imperfect subjunctive tense. The -ra form is more commonly used in Spanish America and northern Spain, while both the -ra and -se forms are used in central and southern Spain. Representative inflected forms entered in the Dictionary are in the -ra form only. Since all imperative forms are derived from the present subjunctive with the exception of the affirmative familiar imperative, only this latter form is given in the Table.

§01 Regular Verb Conjugations

§84 podrir or pudrir

All forms are on root pud-, except for the infinitive, the preterit, the future, the conditional, and the imperative plural, which have both pod- or pud- forms; for example, preterit: pudrí or podrí. The past participle is podrido.

In addition to verbs already mentioned in this section, the following verbs have irregular past participles. Note that combined forms of these verbs have similar irregularities. Thus the past participle of transcribir is transcrito based on the irregularity reflected in the verb escribir.
