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

12.229 - estimar - to estimate, to value, to appreciate

Since this is a very regular verb, I'm going to head to Argentina and Uruguay and use the vos form, which is different from the vosotros form. Just to get everyone totally confused. It's good to be aware of this form as it sneaks into learning from time to time.

Want to learn more about 'vos'? Here's a great link from an older post: What is vos?

Vos estimás. - You estimate

Vos estimaste. - You valued.

Vos estimabas. - You were estimating/ used to estimate.

Vos estimarás. - You will value.

Vos estimarías. - You would estimate.
