Findy, I am not sure what you mean by the sublink, but at the top of the directions is a blue link "Verbs to use" which has the 500 verbs. I'm not sure what you are asking. - katydew, May 8, 2013
Yup, sorry... got it now! ¡Gracias! - Findy, May 8, 2013
what do you mean by present "past, past" future? - Rey_Mysterio, May 10, 2013
Rey, I mean the present tense, the 2 main past tenses (preterit and imperfect) and the future tense. Just practice for 4 often used tenses for beginners. - katydew, May 13, 2013

How do I delete the mistake of double clicking " answer" ? - britisk, May 26, 2013
Keep this one as list 7, 137 - contar and the double post will be fixed. I'm not sure how my post 136 got out of sync. Sometimes it gets crazy. - katydew, May 26, 2013
Sorry if I've messed things up here! - britisk, May 26, 2013
If you need me to edit in 'contar' just let me know and I'll do it happily. - katydew, May 26, 2013
Normally you can just click 'edit' then delete the contents and write, "double post, please delete" and a moderator will come help. But in this case, somehow the order got messed up so if you can edit in 'contar', we'll be back in order. - katydew, May 26, 2013
Not to worry. I think you & I were posting at the same time and it confuses the system. No biggie. Would you like me to do contar in this one? - katydew, May 26, 2013
I'll edit in. Hope I haven't totally confused you now. ;o) At least you were flawless twice. ;o) - katydew, May 26, 2013
I " hope " I've done it Katy. I like that " glitch" word. New one for me. Thanks for offering to help out. - britisk, May 26, 2013
Ok, we'll leave this one in for discussion purposes. Someone else might have the same situation and need to work it out. - katydew, May 26, 2013
