Greetings from Mexico! You drop the -ar like in hablar and add these following endings to their pertaining pronouns: Yo- hablé (-é) Tú- hablaste (-aste) Usted- habló (-ó) Vos- hablasté (-é) Él/Ella- habló (-ó) Ustedes- hablaron (-aron) Vosotros(as)- hablasteis (-asteis) Ellos(as)- hablaron (-aron)

(Keep in mind that hablar is regular. The ones that are not will have different endings.) Example: The verb estar (to be).

Yo- estuve (-uve) Tú- estuviste (-uviste) Usted- estuvo (-uvo) Vos- estuvó (-uvó) Él/Ella- estuvo (-uvo) Ustedes- estuvieron (-uvieron) Vosotros(as)- estuvisteis (-uvisteis) Ellos(as)- estuvieron (-uvieron)

You pretty much have to learn these irregular verbs.

Hope I could help wink

I think you are discussing "conjugation" There is a conjugator on the site. Look under the "more" tab at the top of the page.

For regular verbs there are tables in textbooks and there are tables under the MORE tab in the reference sections.
