Answer 1

Well, to use this comment which once again sounds rude , but DR, you know Quentin by now and know he means no harm, grumpy fella as can be, well anyway:

"Garbage in-garbage out"

this does work for my "ba" try, you introduce something senseless and you get something senseless...

I made another try and introduced "be", I got this complete nonsense. However, this is a malfunction of the system, not a mal function of the person using the conjugator, which should simply say: this verb does not exist.

Answer 2

Enter a Spanish verb infinitive. Iba is not a Spanish verb infinitive. If you can't follow the rules for using the application, then I don't think that you should blame it for giving you erroneous output.

Quentin - I think I've used this site enough to "know the rules". One of the nice benefits of the revised website is you can type in a conjugated verb and it will take you to the correct list. I know that it was listed correctly below. I was just pointing out a simple error.

Please be a little more considerate with your comments. "Garbage in-garbage out"...really!?!

Answer 3

Quentin, use a different approach, cmon, I don't know if you wanted to sound this so rude?

OK, I don't know about iba,,but due to my incredible and well known typing skills, I typed "ba" instead of iba into the conjugator, and this was the result:

"ba" is the third person singular present of the verb bar.

So the conjugation of the verb ba is as follows:

Indicative Present

* bo
* bas
* ba



* bamos
* báis
* ban

Just to let you know

For beginners: the "verb" ba does not exist, error on conjugation ;)

(reporting this right now)

(I wonder how you add the page, no idea)

Sorry, all I was trying to say was "garbage in-garbage out". - 0074b507, DIC 19, 2009

Answer 4

If you can't follow the rules for using the application, then I don't think that you should blame it for giving you erroneous output.

If you write "voy" into the conjugator you get this:

"voy" is the first person singular present of the verb ir.

and the correct conjugation of the verb ir.

This conjugator is adapted to introducing a conjugated verb!! This is a great asset, but it has to work correctly of course, otherwise it is simply confusing learners.

Answer 5

Thanks a lot DR,

"iba" is the first person singular conditional of the verb ir.

this is what shows when you type in iba and it is certainly a mistake. The conjugator shows the verb conjugation correctly in the chart, but this mistake and the bad error I found by chance should not exist, thank you for pointing this out.

Answer 6

Esta es la descripción por "iba" en "Conjugación"

Exactly how did you get to this window containing this error? I tried through the Dictionary conjugation links and couldn't get it. I tried conjugating Ir in the conjugator and couldn't get it. I did duplicate the error when I entered iba into the conjugator, but if you look at the instructions for the conjugator it states: Enter a Spanish verb infinitive. Iba is not a Spanish verb infinitive. If you can't follow the rules for using the application, then I don't think that you should blame it for giving you erroneous output.
