Keep in mind that all of the regular verbs have the same endings. You really only need to learn the ending for the -er, -ir and -ar verbs. Of course when you are beginning and there are just the present tense it is easy. It is when you begin to add the future and the past, etc. that it becomes a bigger challenge.

My students make a verb book. On the first page we put the present tense endings (fold the paper so that there are 4 squares and place one in each square).

The -ar endings are just like the er and ir except they have a's and the er and ir verbs have e's.

o
as
a
amos
ais
an

o
es
e
emos
eis
en

o
es
e
imos
is
en (I always tell the kids that the IR verbs steal from the -er verbs).

If you make a little book you will have something that you can easily reference when you need it. When my students go to another teacher I tell them to keep their verb books. Every year kids ask them "Where did you get that? I want one!" I really think that it will help you.

Also; group together the irregular verbs so that you can learn similar ones together. Tener and Venir are exactly the same. Make a page with all of the shoe verbs. Another page with the yo-go verbs (digo, hago, oigo, etc.) and yet another with the verbs that go to oy in the yo form (soy, voy, doy...).
Hope it helps!

The way I do it is the old way, to write down each conjugation 4 or 5 times. It´ll start to sink in. Also you´ll notice that the conjugations are the same for all the verbs (except ser and haber). After you´ve written them all down a few times you´ll see that they´re not that difficult. What I also do, is after I´ve copied them down, recite them out loud until you get them right without looking.
If what you mean by memorizing the verbs, you mean as in vocabulary. I use the same technique. Write a list of say 10 verbs and read them a few times. Then cover the list and repeat them until you can say them all without looking.
Good luck!

Hi,


The ONLY way is the same as when you had to memorize your English verbs.... Study over and over... and memorize...

My teacher use to test us on the verbs every week... and that is one way of forcing the studies... especially when you want the grades to be good...

So repeat after me... digo, dices,dice ......oups... I forgot...

but I still remember enough to make conversation, read, and understand 80% of the language..., lol...

Good Luck!

Shop for a CD-ROM on Spanish. You can repeat the same lessons over and over until you are blue in the face and no one will get angry. They have animation and you can learn the correct pronunciations too. Some sell pretty cheap...like less than $10. Check eBay, Amazon.com, etc. I got one at Walmart.

Actually, memorizing the most important tenses (we don't use all of them) by the book is not a bad idea. I did it when i was learning english (I'm from Ecuador, South America). My advide to you is, try to watch a Hispanic TV channel (with subtitles, of course) as much as possible and you'll figure it out by yourself.

remember that yo,tu,el,ella,nosotros,ellos,ellas,udt, udts. and the verbs conjugated go with the word (i mean the ones above). most of the verbs sound like the word in english. they always start with to, to go etc. look for clues in teh word also, or example escribar is to write it looks like scrible. for the conjugating i made up little songs for example to ir (to go) to did this: voy,va,vas,vamos,van really fast........ and also u can do it the old fashion way make card ups etc
