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

A.5 List.

Nicely tried. Just as a side note, alarmado is the participle and usually would have the helping verb 'haber' with it. Keep up the good work. You are doing well. - katydew, Oct 10, 2013
To alarm is a little different from 'to be alarmed'. So I think the English would be: He alarms, He alarmed, He was alarming, He will alarm, and he would alarm. The conjugations are all correct except the conditional (alarmaría=.He would alarm). - katydew, Oct 10, 2013
