What are the regular verbs?

Question

My teacher asked me to list the regular and stem changing verbs. What are they exactly?

You can't list A L L the regular verbs there are many 1000s of them. - ian-hill, Nov 2, 2011

Her teacher sounds like a lot of fun! - rabbitwho, Nov 3, 2011

It probably was from a list of verbs-which are regular, which are stem changing? - 0074b507, Nov 3, 2011

Answer 1

Welcome to the forum!

The term "regular verb" usually refers to verbs that follow the normal rules for conjugation. "Stem changing verbs" usually refers to verbs that are irregular and do not follow the normal rules for conjugation.

Here is a link to a video lesson on this site that describes the process better.

regular -er verbs

You can also watch lesson six.

regular -ir verbs

I hope that helps.

Good explanation Dog but both links take the enquirer to er verbs is this your intention? - FELIZ77, Nov 3, 2011

Thanks, Feliz! I thought I fixed that, but I didn't. I believe it is working correctly now. :) - 0066c384, Nov 3, 2011

Answer 2

Your teacher's request is wildly unreasonable (silly, actually). The regular verbs comprise about half of all the verbs in Spanish (a very large number) and the stem changing verbs make up the bulk of the "irregular" verbs. This would, I suspect, add up to several thousand verbs!

Samdie with respect maybe the questioner's teacher only asked for some examples of each ??? The questioner may have though that they were asking them to llst all of them - FELIZ77, Nov 3, 2011

may have thoughT (typo) - FELIZ77, Nov 3, 2011

That's certainly a possibility. However, in that case, I would have expected "list some verbs ..." - samdie, Nov 4, 2011
