Yup, sorry... got it now! ¡Gracias! - Findy, May 8, 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

abaratan - they reduce

abarataban - they were reducing
abaratarán - they will/shall reduce

¡Las finanzas de quien maneja el zapato en este juego de Monopoly se han abaratado!

En este juego de Monopolio, ¡las finanzas de la persona representada por el zapato se abarataron!
In this game of Monopoly, the finances of the person represented by the shoe were reduced!

enter image description here

From a lang-8.com member: "abaratar" is not a common word, it is used in newspapers or mainly in writing. So if you use it in daily conversation people might not understand you."

Round 2 list of verbs:

We are now using this 'Learn Spanish" list

Please specific the letter and the number on the list in order. Then just go in a,b,c order on each list. I hope this won't be too confusing.

Example: A.0 - abanderar

The verb after this one is A-0 abandonar.

*Note: I have also added this list as "Round 2" in the original post of directions where you can always find the link. When you start a new list (i.e. A-1) please post the link for those newbies who haven't played before.

Not sure how to specify this katy, is it A.1? - Maria-Russell, Sep 3, 2013
Or is it still A.0, or what? - Maria-Russell, Sep 3, 2013
Should I post the link? - Maria-Russell, Sep 3, 2013
I think it's still A-0 since that list has 20 verbs on it. Do you have an idea for a better system? I'm open for it. I didn't see the 1,000 verbs, only 1,000 words which included prepositions and nouns. - katydew, Sep 4, 2013
