Free verb tables

The 48 Spanish verbs you need first

The free level of Verbase, fully conjugated: every tense of every verb, in the same tables the app shows. Open a verb for its complete conjugation, or play True or False with all of them.
Play True or False

Three questions a round, all 48 verbs, any tenses you choose.

These 48 verbs are the first level of the app and the backbone of everyday Spanish: ser and estar, tener and hacer, the verbs of going, wanting, saying and knowing. Most of them are irregular, which is exactly why they are worth learning first.

Each page has the full conjugation in all four moods — indicativo, subjuntivo, condicional and imperativo — with the compound tenses, the gerund and the participle. In the app the free level opens the present and the future of the indicative; here every tense is open.

Practice by tense and level

The same tables and the same game, cut by what you are working on.

Practise the Spanish subjunctive

All eight subjuntivo tenses of the 48 verbs you need first, and a game set to them.

Preterite vs imperfect

Fui or era, tuve or tenía: the two past tenses side by side, then a game that mixes them.
