Spanish Verbs

Regular Verbs

1st Conjugation. Hablar (to speak). Present Tense, Indicative Mood.

Yo hablo (I speak) Nosotros (m.) hablamos (we speak)
Nosotras (f.) hablamos (we speak)

Tú hablas (thou speakest) Vosotros (m.) habláis (you speak)
Vosotras (f.) habláis (you speak)

Él or Ella habla (he or she speaks) Ellos (m.) hablan (they speak)
Ellas (f.) hablan (they speak)
Usted habla (you speak). Ustedes hablan (you speak)[1].

Pres. Part. Hablando (speaking).
Past Part. Hablado (spoken).

The second person is only used in the familiar style,
practically when in English the 2nd person would be addressed as "John"
or "Frank" and not as "Mr. Smith" or "Mr. Brown."

Footnote 1: This is called the polite way of addressing and is the
form in use. Note that the verb after it is in the 3rd person,
because "Usted," "Ustedes" (which can be abbreviated as V. Vs.) are
contractions of Vuestra merced (your grace), Vuestras mercedes (your
graces). V. ama = your grace loves.

2nd Conjugation. Temer (to fear).
Pres. Part. Temiendo. Past Part. Temido.
