This is a paradigm of Spanish verbs, that is, a set of conjugation tables, for the model regular verbs and for some of the most common irregular verbs. Spanish is a relatively inflected language, with a two-gender system and about fifty conjugated forms per verb, but no noun declension and limited pronominal declension. ... A verb is a part of speech that usually denotes action (bring, read), occurrence (to decompose (itself), to glitter), or a state of being (exist, live, soak, stand). Depending on the language, a verb may vary in form according to many factors, possibly including its tense, aspect, mood and voice. ...

The tables include only the simple tenses. Perfective and continuous forms can be easily put together by using the appropriate tense of estar + gerund or haber + past participle.

We use the pronouns yo, tú, él, nosotros, vosotros and ellos to symbolise the three persons and two numbers. Note however, that it is the norm in Spanish to omit an explicit subject. Note also that the subject, if specified, can easily be something other than these pronouns. For example, instead of él, we can have ella, usted, impersonal se, or a noun phrase. Instead of nosotros, we can have nosotras, tú y yo, él y yo etc., or a noun phrase that includes the speaker. The same comments hold for vosotros and ellos.

Following the convention in Latin studies, we cite the verbs from which these Spanish words derive:

1. in the first-person singular of the present active indicative
2. in the second-person singular of the present active indicative
3. in the present active infinitive
4. in the first-person perfect active indicative
5. in the supine.
