Verbs: Lesson Guide

Verbs are the action words that drive communication. Here are the most essential ones in Spanish.

Language & Cultural Tips

Ser vs. Estar: Both mean "to be", but they are used very differently! Ser is for permanent characteristics, identity, or origin (e.g., soy de Madrid). Estar is for temporary states, emotions, and locations (e.g., estoy cansado).

Conjugations: All regular verbs end in -ar, -er, or -ir. Because the verb ending changes to match the subject, native speakers usually drop pronouns (yo, tú) unless they want to add emphasis.
