Spanish Verb Index

Spanish Verb Index


If you are learning Spanish, mastering the conjugation of the different verbs and tenses is an essential thing to do.

In our Spanish Verb Conjugation Index you can find the conjugation patterns of the most important Spanish verbs and learn them with a useful set of Spanish verb conjugation charts.

Click on each of the Spanish verbs in the list below to see their conjugation in the different tenses.

The list follows an alphabetical order.

An * indicates that there is some kind of irregularity in the conjugation of that verb. In most cases it is just a small pronunciation or spelling change, but there are also verbs with important irregularities. Also, some verbs are irregular in just a couple of tenses, while others have many irregularities.

Although it may not be the most exciting task in the world, it is important to devote some time to actively memorizing the different forms in the conjugation of each verb.

I recommend you to visit the Spanish Verb Conjugation Video Library to learn the most effective way to memorize any given conjugation.

If you would like to learn the conjugation of a verb, but you don't find it in this list, or have a question about it, contact us and let us know. Jorge, will answer your questions and create the conjugation chart for you.
