Conjugation of the regular verb [travel]

Conjugation is the creation of derived forms of a verb from its principal parts by inflection (alteration of form according to rules of grammar). For instance, the verb "break" can be conjugated to form the words break, breaks, broke, broken and breaking.

The term conjugation is applied only to the inflection of verbs, and not of other parts of speech (inflection of nouns and adjectives is known as declension). Also it is often restricted to denoting the formation of finite forms of a verb – these may be referred to as conjugated forms, as opposed to non-finite forms, such as the infinitive or gerund, which tend not to be marked for most of the grammatical categories.

Conjugation is also the traditional name for a group of verbs that share a similar conjugation pattern in a particular language (a verb class). A verb that does not follow all of the standard conjugation patterns of the language is said to be an irregular verb .

Present Continuous

Past continuous, present perfect, present perfect continuous, past perfect, past perfect continuous, future continuous, future perfect, future perfect continuous, conditional of the regular verb [travel].

Causality (also referred to as causation or cause and effect ) is influence by which one event, process, state or object (a cause) contributes to the production of another event, process, state or object (an effect) where the cause is partly responsible for the effect, and the effect is partly dependent on the cause. In general, a process has many causes, which are also said to be causal factors for it, and all lie in its past. An effect can in turn be a cause of, or causal factor for, many other effects, which all lie in its future.

The conditional mood (abbreviated cond) is a grammatical mood used in conditional sentences to express a proposition whose validity is dependent on some condition, possibly counterfactual.

English does not have an inflective (morphological) conditional mood, except in as much as the modal verbs could, might, should and would may in some contexts be regarded as conditional forms of can, may, shall and will respectively. What is called the English conditional mood (or just the conditional) is formed periphrastically using the modal verb would in combination with the bare infinitive of the following verb. (Occasionally should is used in place of would with a first person subject – see shall and will. Also the aforementioned modal verbs could, might and should may replace would in order to express appropriate modality in addition to conditionality.)

Conditional present -->

Conditional present progressive -->, conditional perfect -->, conditional perfect progressive -->, subjunktiv of the regular verb [travel].

The subjunctive is a grammatical mood, a feature of the utterance that indicates the speaker's attitude toward it. Subjunctive forms of verbs are typically used to express various states of unreality such as: wish, emotion, possibility, judgement, opinion, obligation, or action that has not yet occurred; the precise situations in which they are used vary from language to language. The subjunctive is one of the irrealis moods, which refer to what is not necessarily real. It is often contrasted with the indicative, a realis mood which is used principally to indicate that something is a statement of fact.

Subjunctives occur most often, although not exclusively, in subordinate clauses, particularly that-clauses. Examples of the subjunctive in English are found in the sentences "I suggest that you be careful" and "It is important that she stay by your side."

The subjunctive mood in English is a clause type used in some contexts which describe non-actual possibilities, e.g. "It's crucial that you be here" and "It's crucial that he arrive early." In English, the subjunctive is syntactic rather than inflectional, since there is no specifically subjunctive verb form. Rather, subjunctive clauses recruit the bare form of the verb which is also used in a variety of other constructions.

Present subjunctive -->

Past subjunctive -->, past perfect subjunctive -->, imperativ of the regular verb [travel].

The imperative mood is a grammatical mood that forms a command or request.

An example of a verb used in the imperative mood is the English phrase "Go." Such imperatives imply a second-person subject (you), but some other languages also have first- and third-person imperatives, with the meaning of "let's (do something)" or "let them (do something)" (the forms may alternatively be called cohortative and jussive).

Imperativ -->

Participle of the regular verb [travel].

​The past participle is one of the most important parts of English grammar. It’s used to express perfect tenses and to form the passive voice. It’s also a useful tool for writing sentences that describe actions that started in the past and are still happening today. The past participles of irregular verbs don’t follow a specific pattern and can have numerous endings.

Present participle -->

Past participle -->, recent articles.

  • English Grammar

Level: intermediate

There are two tenses in English – past and present.

The past tense in English is used:

  • to talk about the past
  • to talk about hypotheses (when we imagine something)
  • for politeness .

There are four past tense forms in English:

We use these forms:

  • to talk about the past :
He worked at McDonald's. He had worked there since July. He was working at McDonald's. He had been working there since July.
  • to refer to the present or future in hypotheses :
It might be dangerous. Suppose they  got  lost.

This use is very common in wishes:

I wish it  wasn't  so cold.

and in conditions with if :

He could get a new job if he really  tried . If Jack  was playing , they would probably win.

For hypotheses, wishes and conditions in the past, we use the past perfect:

It was very dangerous. What if you  had got  lost? I wish I  hadn't spent  so much money last month. I would have helped him if he  had asked .

and also to talk about the present in a few  polite expressions :

Excuse me, I was wondering if this was the train for York. I just hoped  you would be able to help me.

Hi Jonathan, Thanks so much for your super clear explanation. I give you below the complete paragraph written in my book : Quote : A) He had served in the army for ten years; then he retired and married. His children were now at school.

Note : If we put the last verb in this sentence into the present tense, the other tenses will change to the simple past :

B) He served in the army for ten years; then he retired and married. His children are now at school. Unquote.

Questions : 1) From the whole paragraph above, would you interpret that the use of "were now" in A refers to the past, or to "currently/at this present moment" just like "are now" in B ?

2) If "were now" in A bears the same meaning as "are now" in B (meaning "currently"), I think we can change "were" in A to "are", but why do the authors give a special note saying that if we change "were" in A with "are", the past perfect will change to the past tense ? What is the reason?

Jonathan, please help me clarify this issue. I'd appreciate your detailed explanation.

Best regards,

  • Log in or register to post comments

Hi melvinthio,

1) Yes, I still think "were now" is describing the past. The meaning of "now" in this example is "used in stories or reports of past events to describe a new situation or event" (source: Cambridge Dictionary - note the emphasis on past events).

2) As mentioned above, I don't think it has the same meaning as "are now". The books seems to be changing the verb into the present tense just as an exercise, or to illustrate how verb tense choices are connected to other ones within the same text. It isn't trying to say that the meaning stays the same.

About the use of the past perfect in A) but not in B). The reason is that A's focal time is the past (as shown by "were now") and B's focal time is the present ("are now"). It is grammatically possible to use the past perfect "had served in the army" in B) as well - however, then there would be four verbs ( had served / retired and married / are now ) moving from past perfect to past to present in very quick succession. This would make the timeframe of the narrative jump forward very quickly from the past to the present, and this is not conventionally done.

Additionally, when it is logically obvious that one past action happened before the other (e.g. ""had served in the army" must logically happen before "retired"), people often simplify the past perfect to the past simple.

I hope that helps.

LearnEnglish team

Hi Peter, Thanks for your reply. I've noticed the following example in my grammar book published by OUP:

"He had served in the army for ten years; then he retired and married. His children were now at school".

Questions: 1) Is it grammatically correct if we replace "were" with "are" in the last sentence (His children are now at school) ?

2) If yes, which one sounds more natural using "are" or "were" ?

3) From the point of grammar, if we write a past story, apart from using the past perfect tense, should we put all the other verbs into the past tense as a default to be consistent although for situations still true in the present ?

I'd highly appreciate your detailed explanation.

I'll try to help. 

1) Yes, it is. However, "His children are now at school" is about the present. I suspect that "His children were now at school" is about the past, even though it says "now". The word "now" is sometimes used in past narratives to show a jump forward in the focal time of the narrative, or highlight a change in circumstances, as in this example which jumps forward from his time in the army to the time of his retirement and marriage (still in the past). 

2) Both sound natural but as explained above, their meanings differ.

3) Generally, yes. Especially if you are writing a factual and objective past story, this would be the norm. However, story writing may not follow fixed rules like this, so that story writers can convey their ideas to the reader better. For example, story writers commonly use present tenses for story events in order to give the reader a stronger sense of how the character is experiencing and reacting (see Present tense , advanced level section for an example of this), even though those story events happened in the past in the overall timeframe.

Hi Peter, Thanks for your explanation. For my previous two sentences (in 2a and 2b) in the past tense : "there were 3 children in my family" and "my parents had 3 children", I assume they can be used if I tell a past story. e.g. "When we were kids, my parents worked very hard as there were 3 children in our family. They had 3 children while our neighbours had only one or two".

(1) Is it right to use the two sentences in the past tense in the above story ?

(2) In your previous answer to my 2a question, you said "If you say 'There are....' then the listener would understand that all are still alive". Interestingly, I noticed that you used "would" in the first conditional sentence. Please help explain in what situation we can use this type of mixed conditional (the use of "WOULD" in the first conditional) and if possible, please give me some more examples to help me get it more clearly.

I'd highly appreciate your detailed explanations. Best regards,

Hello melvinthio,

(1) Yes, that's fine. Your example is correct.

(2) It's not a standard form, I'm afraid. Native speakers sometimes mix up forms in non-standard ways and this is a sentence which, strictly speaking, is not internally consistent. A better construction would be If you said... a listener would...

The LearnEnglish Team

Hi Peter, I've seen the following sentence : - His father was the second of four children in his family (The use of the past is due to the fact that they're not children anymore now).

My questions:

(1) Can we say this sentence although his father is still alive ?

I have two siblings in my family. We're all adults now and my parents are still alive.

(2) In this case, which one should I say ? Or either the past or the present is grammatically correct ?

a) There were (or are) 3 children in my family.

b) My parents had (or have) 3 children.

I'd appreciate your clear explanation. Thanks. Best regards,

Hi melvinthio,

1) Yes, you can say the sentence even though the father is still alive. As you say, he is no longer a child so the sentence past makes sense, though the present is also possible.

2) a) If you say 'There were' then the implication is that this is no longer true. The listener might infer that one of your siblings died, for example. If you say 'There are' then the listener would understand that all are still alive.

2) b) Both are possible. 'Had' might mean that the parents died; 'have' makes it clear that they are still alive.

Hello The LearnEnglish Team, The selfish giant by Oscar wilde.. Suddenly he rubbed his eyes in wonder and looked and looked. It certainly was a marvellous sight. In the farthest corner of the garden was a tree quite covered with lovely white blossoms. Its branches were golden, and silver fruit hung down from them, and underneath it stood the little boy he had loved. Could you explain why the author has used hung down and stood instead of were hanging and was standing the little boy? Would it be incorrect to use past continuous tense though I think the action was in progress at that time? Jitu_jaga

Hello jitu_jaga,

The simple tenses here suggest that this character views this scene not so much something that is in progress, but as more of a static scene, almost as if it were the background of a painting.

Though please note that I say this without having read either before or after this extract -- my analysis might change if I did read the full context.

The speaker's perspective and intentions are key in the choice of verb forms.

Best wishes, Kirk LearnEnglish team

Hi, is this sentence grammatically correct “We hadn’t chicken curry last night”

Hello blaky,

The negative form of have is didn't have . We normally use hadn't (or haven't ) only when it is an auxiliary verb and part of a longer verb phrase such as a perfect form.

Hi , i hope you feeling well. Why we use past perfect here after which why we can’t use simple present?

That this type of writing represents a kind pf literary genre is a point which some critics had failed to notice

sorry i mean simple past not simple present

Hello hanieh1315,

You can use the simple past here ( ...some critic failed to notice ) as well as the past perfect ( ...some critics had failed to notice ). The past perfect emphasises that the critics failure to notice ended - presumably at a time made clear by the broader context. In other words, the critics did not notice only up until a particular point, and after that they did notice.

got it .Thanks for your answering🌹

Hi, could you please explain to me which one of these following sentences is grammatically correct:

1. She worked there for five years but was fired last week. 2. She had been working there for five years but was fired last week. 3. She had worked there for five years but was fired last week.

I presume that it has something to do with conveying the emphasis in each sentence, but I'm not entirely sure what the actual difference is.

Hello _Chris_,

All three of those are grammatically correct, though the situations we'd use them in are different.

There are so many possibilities here that I can't describe them all, and the differences between the situations are so general it's also difficult to say something useful. But, for example, 1 could be used in lots of situations; it's quite neutral. If I had to choose one of these three on a test, this is the one I'd choose, though I'd also want to ask whoever wrote the test what their thinking was to be sure.

If you can give us any more context for this, perhaps we can explain it better. You're also welcome to propose contexts for each of the three sentences and we can comment on how you see them if you'd like.

All the best, Kirk LearnEnglish team

Could you send some points we must keep in mind while attempting questions related to past and present tenses... Any helpful tips which are useful for scoring 100% in grammar...

Hello SaadBinSiyad2008,

I'm afraid we don't provide long general explanations of grammar points -- for that kind of thing, please see the explanations on our different pages. I'd also recommend trying the exercises and finding out where your weak points are so that you can improve on them.

We're happy to help with specific questions about our explanations or exercises, so please don't hesitate to ask us any of those types of questions.

Hi Petet, Kirk and Jonathan, When I was a child, I lived in France. Would it be incorrect if I wrote was living in France. Please clarify. .

Hello y jitu_jaga,

Both forms are possible. The simple form ( wrote ) suggests that you lived permanently in France - it was your home, at least for a time, and you did not consider it temporary. The continuous form ( was living ) suggests that you saw it as temporary - you knew that you were going to leave. In other words, it's really a question of how the speaker saw the situation, not a question of fact.

Hello Peter, Are there any other verbs which we can use same way?

Hello Team. Could you please help me? In the following sentence, which tense is the correct one or both? Why? - First, my brother (got- had got) a visa. Then, he booked a flight to Canada. Thank you.

Hello Ahmed Imam,

I'd choose 'got' here because the two sentences are clearly narrating a sequence of actions ('first', 'then'). In such cases, we normally use the past simple.

It's possible to use 'had got' in a similar situation ('My brother had got a visa before booking his flight'), but in most cases the past simple is probably best. It really depends on the rest of the situation and the meaning intended, which I can't really speculate about here.

All the best, Kirk The LearnEnglish Team

When she got home, she realized that while she ….. someone has stolen her wallet! A. had been walking B. Was working

Hello Alaa El Baddini,

As I said on another page, I'm afraid we don't provide answers for questions from other sources. We're happy to explain points of grammar or answer other questions about the language, but if we began simply giving answers to tasks we would end up doing our users' homework and tests for them, which is not our job!

I wish I heard information soon. I could learning well if I really tried. If I had started 1 year ago I would have a good job. I wonder if these sentences are right ?

Let me make some suggestions.

  • The meaning isn't clear for me. If you say this because you want somebody to send you the information, it should be --> "I hope to hear from you soon". If you want to tell somebody that you will get the information soon, it should be --> "I hope to get the information soon."
  • Looks good but it should be --> "I could learn well ...". After "could", use the base verb form (not the -ing form).
  • Looks good but it's not clear what "started" means. It could be, for example, "If I had started looking for a job one year ago, I would have a good job now".

Hello , During summer i stayed in a hotel. During summer i was staying in a hotel. which one is correct and why? And is "stay" a state verb?

Both the past simple ('I stayed') and the past continuous ('I was staying') are possible here, but we would say one or the other depending on the situation or the meaning we want to convey. It's difficult to explain much more to you because there are so many different reasons that one or the other form would be better that I can't explain them all. Did you have a specific situation in mind?

If not, I'd suggest reading the explanations on the pages I linked to. We're also happy to try to explain a more specific situation if you can tell us more about it.

which is correct?

while i was living in England, i was taking a course on english grammar.

when i was living in England, i took a course on english grammar.

Hello Qirat2004,

Both of those are grammatically correct, but which one is correct for a specific situation depends on the situation and what you want to say. If you can explain the situation and what you mean in more detail, we can help you choose the best form.

Hi Kirk & Peter, She was half listening to the music as she flipped through the magazine. She was half listening to the music as she was flipping through the magazine. Is there any difference in the meaning? Or any one is grammatically incorrect. Could you please explain?

Hello  jitu_jaga,

In this case you can use the two forms interchangeably. The context makes it clear that both actions were in progress simultaneously. If another action was being described instead  of 'flipping through' then there might be a need to highlight whether or not it was completed during the other action (listening) or in progress.

Hello and happy new year, Culturally, Europe made so many significant advances during the Renaissance that it (would be) impossible to describe them in a brief speech. Why (would be) is used here? I mean the reason? Is it referring to the future? or imaginary? Thank you

Hello Hosseinpour,

Yes, 'would' is used to speak about a hypothetical (imaginary) action here. By saying this, the speaker shows that she is not going to describe them in a brief speech because it is impossible to do so.

Does that make sense?

Thanks a lot sir. Thank you.

please I would like to know which of the following sentences is grammatically correct:

" I thought they have increased the wages" " I thought they had increased the wages"

Hello Haroun,

The second sentence is correct. 'Thought' takes place in a finished past time whereas 'have increased' describes an unfinished past>present time, so they are not logically compatible here.

Peter The LearnEnglish Team

Hi , Could you tell me whether the following sentence is correct: 'As John had been shopping in the duty free area his flight took off.' Or it's better to say As John was shopping in the duty free area his flight took off. Thank you

The second one is better. The past simple action (his flight took off) happened in the middle of the past continuous action (John was shopping).

The first sentence uses past perfect (John had been shopping), but that is used for an action that took place before another action and which had some kind of logical connection to it (e.g., a cause and effect - "As John had been shopping, he arrived at the departure gate late" - it means he arrived late because he had been shopping). But it seems unlikely that his flight took off BECAUSE he had been shopping, so I wouldn't use that here.

Jonathan The LearnEnglish Team

Thank you Jonathan... So, let me see if I understood correctly The passengers had been waiting (not were waiting) in the airport for two hours when a bomb scare occurred. (Logical connection?)

Yes, I think the past perfect continuous version is more likely. Using the past perfect continuous shows that the actions (passengers waiting / bomb scare occurred) happened in sequence, one after the other.

Some people might use the past continuous version, but I think it is less preferable because the phrase "for two hours" suggests the action is complete (rather than ongoing) when the bomb scare occurred. The past continuous would be more likely if the "for two hours" phrase was deleted.

You're asking me: "What did you do yesterday" I'am answering:"I wrote a book" What will you think ? (A) That I wrote some pages of book (didn't finish the book). (B) That I wrote a whole book (finished the book) ? How should I answer in option (A) ?

Hello PeterNosov,

'I wrote a book' would normally mean that you wrote a whole book. If you wrote but didn't finish the book, you could say 'I wrote some pages for my book' or 'I did some writing' or 'I worked on my book'. There are other options, too, but these are some common ways to express that idea.

Thank you, Mr. Kirk !

Hello lexeus,

Yes, it's correct to use an adjective after the verb ' turn ' when it means 'become'. If you follow the link and look at the example sentences under the fourth entry (look for the words ' turn verb (BECOME' in purple), you'll see a sentence very similar to the one you're asking about.

Simple Past Tense in English Grammar

How to use the simple past tense in english grammar, how to conjugate the simple past.

  • Lingolia Plus English

What is the Simple Past Tense in English Grammar

The simple past tense, also known as the past simple, the past tense or the preterite, expresses completed actions in the recent and distant past. It is the basic past tense in English grammar. We form this tense with the past simple form of the main verb and did , the past simple form of the auxiliary verb do. The duration of an action is not important in the simple past, instead, we emphasise when an action took place.

Learn about the simple past tense in English Grammar with Lingolia then test yourself in the exercises.

Last month a girl from China joined our class. She came in, introduced herself, and began to talk about her country. She showed us where she was from on a map. While she was talking about her home town, the school bell suddenly rang .

If I spoke Chinese, I would love to go on a holiday to China.

The simple past is the basic form of the past tense in English grammar, we use it for:

  • actions that happened once or repeatedly in the past Example: L ast month a girl from China joined our class. She was from China. She showed us where she was from on a map.
  • actions that happened one after the other in the past Example: She came in, introduced herself, and began to talk about her country.
  • a new action interrupting an action that was already taking place, together with the past progressive tense Example: While she was talking about her home town, the school bell suddenly rang .
  • in the second conditional Example: If I spoke Chinese, I would like to go on holiday to China.

There are four past tenses in English grammar. Besides the past simple, there is the past progressive , the past perfect simple and the past perfect progressive .

  • Tense comparison simple past – past progressive
  • Tense comparison simple past – past perfect
  • Tense comparison all past tenses

Learn more about the simple aspect and other simple tenses on Lingolia’s tenses timeline .

Signal Words: English Simple Past Tense

The simple past is used to say when something happened, so it is common to use it with expressions of time and adverbs of frequency.

  • Time expressions: yesterday, 2 minutes ago, in 1990, the other day, last Friday, etc.
  • Adverbs of frequency: always, often, sometimes, rarely, never, etc.

The verb be

The verb be is irregular in the simple past:

We use the contractions wasn’t and weren’t in negative sentences with be in the simple past.

Other verbs

The conjugation of verbs in the simple past is the same for all forms. We add -ed to the regular verbs, but the irregular verbs have to be learned by heart. In negative sentences and questions, we use the auxiliary verb did or did not together with the main verb in the infinitive . The table below shows examples of the conjugation of regular and irregular verbs in the simple past in positive , negative and interrogative sentences .

We use the contraction didn’t in negative sentences in the simple past.

We always use the infinitive of the verb after the auxiliaries didn’t and did .

Simple Past – Spelling Rules

Regular verbs are conjugated by adding -ed to the base infinitive of a verb. However, there are some exceptions to this rule:

  • When a verb ends in -e , we only add -d . Example: lov e – lov ed (not: loveed )
  • The final consonant is doubled after a short stressed vowel. Example: adm it – admi tt ed
  • The final consonant - l is always doubled after a vowel in British English but not in American English. Example: trav el – trave ll ed (British), trave l ed (American)
  • A -y at the end of the word is replaced by an -i . Example: hurr y – hurr i ed

Spanish Verb Conjugation: Become a Conjugation Master for Every Spanish Verb

Spanish verbs change a lot more than English verbs.

They change endings (and sometimes stems, too) according to who is saying them, who (or what) you’re talking about, and whether you’re talking about the present, past or the future .

In this post, I’ll walk you through the fundamentals of Spanish verb conjugation, starting with the most basic rules and then working through irregularities and other things you should know, so you can become a Spanish verb conjugation master in no time!

The Basics of Spanish Conjugation

Conjugating spanish regular verbs in the present tense, conjugating spanish reflexive verbs in the present tense, conjugating present progressive tense spanish verbs, conjugating past tense spanish verbs, conjugating future tense spanish verbs, conjugating spanish irregular verbs, stem-changing verbs, irregular yo forms, spelling-change verbs, special irregular verbs, how to practice conjugating spanish verbs , and one more thing….

When conjugating Spanish verbs in the present tense , you first need to  identify who’s performing the action. This is your “subject.” There are eight possible subjects:

Now that we know who’s performing the action, we’ll need to conjugate by picking the correct verb ending depending on who the subject is.

All Spanish verb infinitives (the dictionary version of the verb) end in the letters -ar, -er or -ir.

To conjugate an infinitive, you need to remove the final two letters and add the appropriate ending.

To find the appropriate ending, you will need to consider which tense you’re using and whether the verb is regular or irregular.

The Spanish present tense is used for facts that are true in the current moment and general statements:

Yo quiero un gato. (I want a cat.)

Yo hablo español. (I speak Spanish.)

It’s the most basic and common Spanish tense, so it’s the perfect place for beginners to get started.

Here’s how you’d conjugate habl ar (to speak), which is a common – ar verb. You use the same verb endings to conjugate other regular -ar verbs .

For regular -er verbs, such as  com er (to eat):

For regular -ir verbs, such as  viv ir (to live):

Here are a few examples of this tense in action:

Antonio cant a por las mañanas. (Antonio sings in the mornings.)

Mi sobrino com e mucho. (My nephew eats a lot.)

Patricia viv e en Madrid. (Patricia lives in Madrid.)

Reflexive verbs perform an action on themselves. That is, they have a subject that’s the same as the object, such as in the sentence “I weigh myself” or “I wash myself.”

You can spot these in Spanish because their infinitive verb form often includes a pronoun, for example:

  • lavar se (to wash oneself)
  • bañar se (to bathe oneself)
  • despertar se (to wake oneself up )

To conjugate reflexive verbs , you’ll also need to choose the appropriate reflexive pronoun, to indicate the subject/object relationship.

The following reflexive pronouns can be used for reflexive verbs in any tense:

You’ll typically place the reflexive pronoun right before the conjugated verb.

Here are some examples:

Pedro se duch a todos los días. (Pedro showers [himself] every day.)

Siempre me acuest o a las 10. (I always go to bed at 10 p.m.)

¿Por qué no te afeit as ? (Why don’t you shave [yourself]?)

The present progressive tense is used to refer to actions happening right now. In the English language, this would refer to verbs ending in -ing.

To form sentences in the present progressive, you must first know how to conjugate the verb estar (to be):

Then, change the ending of the action verb as follows:

  • -ar to -ando
  • -er/ir to -iendo

Let’s look at  escribir (to write) as an example. To say “I am writing” in Spanish, we will:

  • Conjugate estar in the  yo form→ estoy .
  • Change the ending of  escribir → escribiendo.
  • Combine the two to get Estoy escribiendo (I am writing).

Here are a few more examples:

Mi vecino está llor ando . (My neighbor is crying.)

Estamos beb iendo café. (We’re drinking coffee.)

Estoy  escrib iendo un correo electrónico. (I’m writing an email.)

The past tense, or the preterite , refers to the simplest form of the Spanish past tense. In English, conjugating to the past tense would typically involve adding the suffix -ed to a verb.

Basically, use this tense to talk about things that have already happened and are completed.

The following table will show you how to conjugate -ar verbs in the past tense:

-er / -ir verbs

In this verb tense, the -er and -ir forms have the same ending:

Note the placement of accents in this verb tense: They’re important but are only used for the first and third person.

Here are a few examples:

Anabel comió pizza anoche. (Anabel ate pizza last night.)

Vivieron 10 años en Buenos Aires. (They lived in Buenos Aires for 10 years.)

Ayer llamamos a nuestra abuela. (We called our grandma yesterday.)

Many consider the future tense to be one of the easiest to conjugate in Spanish.

When you conjugate Spanish verbs to the future tense, you simply add the ending to the end of the infinitive form of a verb. The ending will be the same for all verbs.

Here are the verb endings for the future tense:

Check out a few more examples of the future tense at work:

Mañana lloverá. (It’ll rain tomorrow.)

Serás muy feliz aquí. (You’ll be very happy here.)

Iremos a dormir muy pronto. (We’ll go to sleep very soon.)

Note that the future tense is reserved for a slightly more distant future. This tense is often not used for something that will happen in the very near future (as in hours or minutes).

When something is happening relatively soon, but still somewhat in the future, you’d more often use the present tense, or the ir + a + infinitive form , to describe this, like this example:

Voy a nadar hoy. (I’m going swimming today.)

Unfortunately, in Spanish, many verbs don’t follow the rules of conjugation that we’ve covered. These are called irregular verbs.

Irregular verbs are very common and in most cases, you’ll just have to memorize their special conjugations.

There are four main types of irregular verbs.

Stem-changing verbs have the same conjugations as regular verbs. Their irregularity is seen when their stem —the part that remains when you drop the -ar/-er/-ir ending— changes.

There are four main types of stem changes that can occur:

This is what those stem changes would look like using the  yo  form as an example:

  • Qu e rer → Qu ie ro
  • P o der → P ue do 
  • D e cir — D i go
  • J u gar —  J ue go 

Note that these stem changes don’t apply to the nosotros and vosotros forms.

Some verbs are only irregular when you conjugate them to their yo  (I) form. There are various kinds of verbs that have irregular  yo  forms.  

  • Some verbs will end in -go , -oy ,  or -zco .  
  • Verbs that end in -ger or -gir  will end in -jo. 

These are only a few of the patterns and the only way to really remember them is to memorize these.

Here are a few examples of verbs with irregular yo forms. Note that three of the most common Spanish verbs ( ser , saber and ir ) are included in this list.

  • Salgo  (I leave)
  • Soy  (I am)
  • Conozco  (I know)
  • Sé  (I know)
  • Extingo  (I extinguish)
  • Escojo  (I choose)

Some verbs change their spelling when they’re conjugated a certain way. You can see an example of this with -uir words. This is done to maintain the proper pronunciation.

They’re conjugated normally for the most part, but the i becomes y in all forms except for nosotros and vosotros .

Here are some examples: 

  • incluir (to include) → ella inclu y e (she includes)
  • huir (to run away) → ellos hu y en (they run away)
  • destruir  (to destroy) → yo destru y o (I destroy)

Another example is verbs ending in -cer  and  -cir. To keep the “th” sound, the letter z is used in the first person conjugation (I).

If there’s a consonant before  -cer / -cir, the c changes into a z:

  • ve n cer  (to defeat) →  yo ven z o  (I defeat)

If there’s a vowel before -cer / -cir , the z is added before the c:

  • prod u cir  (to produce) →  yo produ z co  (I produce)

There are some special irregular verbs that just completely drop all rules and do their own thing. It’s best to just memorize these verbs and forms.

Two of the most common verbs with special irregular forms that you need to remember are ser (to be) and ir (to go).

Here’s how you conjugate ser in the present tense:

And here’s how you conjugate ir in the present tense:

If you’re just getting started, learning how to conjugate Spanish verbs can be a bit overwhelming.

Thomas Kingston Has Died at Age 45, Buckingham Palace Announces

His death comes as a shock to the British royal family.

the wedding of lady gabriella windsor and mr thomas kingston

Thomas Kingston has passed away at age 45, Buckingham Palace just announced.

Kingston was found in Gloucestershire on Sunday evening, and emergency services were called to the scene, where he was pronounced dead. An inquest will be held, but there are no suspicious circumstances, T&C understands. It is also understood that Prince William's absence from King Constantine's memorial service today was unconnected to the news of Kingston's passing; Prince and Princess of Michael were in attendance at the service.

According to a Buckingham Palace spokesperson, "The King and The Queen have been informed of Thomas’s death and join Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and all those who knew him in grieving a much-loved member of the family. In particular, Their Majesties send their most heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Gabriella and to all the Kingston family." At this point, details of the funeral will not be shared.

Kingston is the son-in-law of Prince Michael of Kent and Princess Michael of Kent , having married Lady Gabriella Windsor in a royal wedding in 2019 .

He is survived by his wife, Lady Gabriella, his parents Martin and Jill Kingston, and his sisters, Joanna Connolly and Emma Murray.
