  1. Irregular Verbs I

  2. All of the following verbs are irregular. Some are just a little irregular, and some are REALLY irregular. In each paradigm—that’s the chart that looks like this: ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ --the irregularities in each verb form are highlighted so that you can see what they are. That way you know what to MEMORIZE.

  3. IR (to go) “Ir” looks very different from its verb forms, so I’d have to highlight every single verb form. But look at “hablar,” and you’ll see that once you get past the “yo” form of “ir,” it doesn’t look so strange: voy vamos hablo hablamos vas vais hablas habláis va van habla hablan After you get past the “yo” form, the other forms of “ir” are just a “v” with the –ar endings on it.

  4. TENER (to have) tengo tenemos tienes tenéis tiene tienen The next verb’s changes are identical to those of “tener”: VENIR (to come) vengo venimos vienes venís viene vienen Just remember that “tener” is an –er verb with –er endings and that “venir” is an –ir verb with –ir endings.

  5. HACER (to do, to make) &VER (to see) “Hacer” and “ver” are similar in that both are irregular in only the “yo” form: hago hacemos veo vemos haces hacéis ves veis hace hacen ve ven

  6. ESTAR (to be) “Estar” is irregular only in the first person, except for the fact that it has accent marks where regular verbs don’t: estoy estamos hablo hablamos estás estáis hablas habláis está están habla hablan

  7. OK, two of the previous verbs come with their own little usage problems. How do you think you say, “I’m going to read”? Voy leer. Wrong. It’s “Voy a leer.” Any time an infinitive (a verb meaning “to read,” “to write,” etc.) follows a form of “ir,” it has to have “a” in front of it: Juan y yo vamos a estudiar. -- Juan and I are going to study. Elisa y Carlos van a comer las manzanas.—Elisa & Carlos are going to eat the apples. a

  8. “Tener” has a similar requirement. How do you think you’d say, “I have to read”? Tengo Wrong. Any time an infinitive (a verb meaning “to read,” “to write,” etc.) follows a form of “tener,” it has to have “que” in front of it: Juan y yo tenemos que estudiar. -- Juan and I have to study. Elisa y Carlos tienen que comer las manzanas.—Elisa & Carlos have to eat the apples. leer. que

  9. To sum up, here are all the irregular verbs you’ve just seen: ir tener venir voy vamos vas vais va van hacer ver estar hago hacemos veo vemos estoy estamos haces hacéis ves veis estás estáis hace hacen ve ven está están tengo tenemos tienes tenéis tiene tienen vengo venimos vienes venís viene vienen
