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

List 20, Verb 392

enter image description here

Querer, a common verb that usually means 'to want' or 'to love,' is frequently irregular. Not only is it a stem-changing verb (boot verb), but in some conjugations the r changes to an rr. And sometimes, for no apparent reason, the quer- stem changes to quis-. Because querer is so common, the irregular forms are worth noting.

él quiere - he wants, he is wanting
él quiso - he wanted
él quería - he was wanting, used to want, wanted
él querrá - he will want
él querría - he would want

No quise asustarte.
I didn't want to scare you.

One conjugates it as you would amar. I got that from wordreference.com. It is said like that because it models the conjugations of amar. - EL_MAG0, Jul 5, 2013
