Verbs are where the action is! This self-teaching book of 501 commonly used Spanish verbs for students and travelers gives you easy access to correct verb forms. You will master Spanish verb forms if you study this book for a few minutes each day, especially the pages in the front section of the bookbefore the alphabetical listing of 501 verbs.

Reference Tips

Alphabetical Listing The 501 verbs included here are arranged alphabetically by infinitive at the top of each page.

Verb numbers Verb numbers can be found at the top of each page. Remember to refer to these verb numbers, not page numbers, when you use the indexes at the back of the book.

Synonyms and Antonyms At the bottom of each verb page, you will find synonyms and antonyms along with verb numbers to help you find a model verb that is conjugated in the same way.

Spanish-English Index with Over 2,300 More Verbs At the end of the book, beginning on page 661, you will find a list of over 2,300 Spanish verbs that are conjugated like model verbs in the main list. Just use the verb number (in parentheses) to find a model verb that is conjugated in the same way as the verb that you want to use.

English-Spanish Index In the back pages of the book, beginning on page 635, there is a list of English verbs. If you cant remember the Spanish verb that you need, use this list to find it. Then use the verb number (in parentheses) to find a model verb that is conjugated the same way. If there is no verb number, it means that the Spanish verb you need is in the main listing.

Defective and Impersonal Verbs Some verbs, such as llover (to rain) are not used in all the persons (I, you, we, etc.). You can find these verbs in a separate section immediately after the main listing, beginning on page 617. In other words, there are more than 501 fully conjugated verbs in this book!

Study Tips

The front section of 501 Spanish Verbs has a wealth of information to help you study the formation and usage of Spanish verbs. If you have a particular need, you can, of course, find the topic in the Table of Contents.

Here are a few of the most common sections that students use:

• Summary of all fourteen tenses in Spanish with English equivalents (6.1 and 6.2) In this section, we assign a number to each tense to help you compare the forms and find them in the main listing. For example, Tense Number 2 is the Imperfect Indicative (el imperfecto de indicativo).
• Definitions of Basic Grammatical Terms with Examples (10) Many students who study a foreign language have problems because they do not understand certain terms that are used by their instructors or in reference books. This section will help you to navigate these terms.
