Dictionary Help Please/ Verb conjugation

Question

If I type catch into the dictionary it tells me that the Spanish verb is coger; but where do I go to conjugate that verb ?

Am I missing something or if it is too much to conjugagte the verb if the verb is regualar it could be noted as such, so then I would not need to go looking - and perhaps only irregular verbs would need to be conjugated.

Am I missing something in the use of the dictionary ?

Answer 1

The drop down menu for "more" (at the top of the page) includes conjugation. Click on that and enter your verb.

Answer 2

You are missing a step.

When you enter an English word (catch) It will give you one or more definitions and synonyms.

Once you pick the one that you want to see more information on, coger in your case, enter coger back into the dictionary and go to the page where coger is defined. On that page you will find links to the conjugation of the verb.

It would be too cumbersome to have to put links to every synonym or definition , phrase, examples, etc. on every page.

Answer 3

Hi Roger Do not type in caught. If you know the infinitive stick with this. For instance to find catch you would carry out the following.

1) In the dictionary type catch

2) From here you will see an answer of "coger"

3) Now type in coger

4) You will now see various examples using this verb

5) Scroll down to the bottom, as suggested by Heidi, and you will see a conjugation box with a "limited" conjugation of the verb. At the bottom of the box you will see a link to "complete coger conjugation"

6) click on this link and you will have the complete conjugation.

7) If you already know the Spanish verb, it is easier to choose "conjugation" from the "more" tab and enter the word directly. This will give the full conjugation straight away.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

if the verb is regualar it could be noted as such, so then I would not need to go looking - and perhaps only irregular verbs would need to be conjugated.

I agree with you. There is little point in checking the conjugation of regular verbs once you can conjugate them confidently. Only the conjugation of irregular verbs is really necessary.

I also think that once you know the regular verb conjugations, there is little point in showing the conjugation of any other verbs that are not irregular. - Theet, Aug 17, 2009

Thanks, but I have to type in coger, not caught, yes ?

Answer 6

HI Calvo and Quentin, for once I am a step ahead of you

Roger, You will find the conjugation of any verb right below the definitions of the verb itself. This was one of the excellent changes of this new site.

Have a look at sacar and scroll down.
