Spanish verbs are divided into three main groups according to their ending -AR, -ER or -IR. The Spanish verbs with -AR are the most significant category (around 80% of all), and the good news is that more of them are regulars. To conjugate these verbs, remove the ending (-ar) and add the corresponding termination according to the subject pronoun (yo, tú, él, usted...) |
