I wonder if it would be possible to put each most recent sub-list link in this first post so we don't need to search for the post with the list? Thanks! - Findy, May 8, 2013
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
I think when Findy says sublink that she means put the link to the page of the verbs we are on. Like **5**.... - jessicamccall117, May 15, 2013
Help...When I click on the word list above, I do not get the list...even though I and looking for quiz 7. It worked ok for me until about two weeks ag - gohern, May 25, 2013
The link suddenly changed mid-thread. Click the first link I've listed then look in the top right corner for the list number (quiz # 1, 2, etc.) then go to the drop-down option and choose the current list. - katydew, Jun 15, 2013
