A comprehensive list of -AR and -IR verbs for beginners?

Question

I want to start embelishing my conversation with more description. Could anyone either provide a link or begin a thread with -AR and -IR verbs.

To get us started I will provide a few basic ones. Please feel free to add all and any!

-AR Verbs Bailar: To dance Caminar: To walk Cantar: To sing Comprar: To buy Escuchar: To listen to Estudiar: To study Hablar: To speak Mirar: To watch, look at Pagar: To pay Tocar: To play (instrument), to touch Tomar: To take, drink Trabajar: To work

-IR Verbs Decir: To say Venir: to arrive

Answer 1

Exhaustive? I've got a pretty exhaustive one, but most natives won't even recognize more than half of them. There are over 10,000 verbs, and you only need 6,000 words in total to be fluent, from which probably less than 500 will be verbs. Start learning useful verbs, and leave the exhaustive list for when you want to become Mr. walking dictionary man.

True, I typed in a rush. Imeant to say I would like a greater understanding of the most used ones, thanks! - Samian, May 5, 2011

Answer 4

Make a list of the verbs you commonly use and translate them to Spanish. The reason I say this is that the purpose of language is to communicate, and what you want to say probably won't change just because you are speaking Spanish. If you have no interest in dancing, knitting, or glassblowing, you probably don't need to make those words a priority in learning vocabulary.
