In Spanish there are regular, semiregular and
irregular verbs. We already know regular
verbs. Semiregular verbs are verbs having slight modifications in their
spelling, just so that they can sound phonetically easy to pronounce, like the
verb pagar (to pay) yo pago (I pay), in the past instead of writing yo pagé, we
added a (u) after the g so that it would still sound [g] like in pago I bought=
yo pagué, and not like [j] if we wrote pagé. Irregular verbs are verbs
which don't follow standard rules of conjugation in the different verb tenses.
The bad news is that they're the most used verbs. So you need to focus on them
more, the good news is that you can become familiar with them easily. We will
deal with semiregular and irregular as a one subject, because semiregular verbs
are considered somehow irregular too.
Here we will go through types of irregularity:
-First person singular present with g: decir (to say), I say= digo. caer (to fall), I
fall= caigo. hacer (to do), I do= hago. salir (to go out), I go out= saglo...
-First person present g changes to j:
escoger (to choose), I choose= escojo. corrigir (to correct), I correct=
corrijo.
-Stem changes in the third
person singular present (e -> ie): negar (to deny), he denies= niega.
cerrar (to close), he closes= cierra. pensar (to think), he think=piensa
-Stem changes in the third
person singular present (o -> ue): jugar (to play), he plays= juega. mostrar
(to show), he shows= muestra. dormir (to sleep),he sleeps=duerme
-Stem changes in the third
person singular present (e -> i): decir (to say), he says= dice. medir (to
measure), he measures= mide.
-When
we add an e to the last letter of the stem c then (c -> qu): platicar (to chat), I chatted= platiqué. bloacar (to
block), I blocked= bloqué.
-When
we add an e to the last letter of the stem z then (z-> c): lanzar (to throw) I threw= lancé.
-When
we add an a or o to the last letter of the stem c then (c ->zc): conocer (to know) I know= conozco.

Smart List of Irregular Verbs in
Spanish
This list contains most of the common modifications that
occur to verbs, it may seem confusing, but this is the easiest way to learn how
a verb is modified, especially once you get used to the table.
-Underlined words: refer to the stem of a
verb; the root of the verb that you should keep, and modify only what comes
after that stem.
-Words in bold: means that the word is conjugated in
an irregular way and maybe that was the reason why it was put in this irregular
list.
-Abbreviations: (pr part= present participle), (pa part=
past participle), (Imperative has two conjugations in this table the first one
is for tú, the second word is for él).
