Spanish verb tables

The verb tables below show the main irregularities that can occur in Spanish verbs. Note that there are a few spelling rules that apply to the language as a whole and which we generally don't class as verb irregularities (e.g. a stem ending in -c- will always spell this letter as -qu- before e or i).

For an introduction to regular Spanish verbs plus an explanation of the various irregularities illustrated by the verb tables below, see the following sections of the site:
