Ubell/Verb Conjugation

Main article: Ubell

This is a paradigm of Ubell verbs, that is, a set of conjugation tables, for the model regular verbs and for some of the most common irregular verbs.

The tables include only the simple tenses. Continuous or perfect forms can be easily put together by using the appropriate verb prefixes kr- (perfect), pró- (progressive).

The pronouns yo, tú/vos, él, nosotros, vosotros and ellos are used to symbolise the three persons and two numbers. Note, however, that Spanish is a pro-drop language and so it is the norm to omit subject pronouns when not needed for contrast or emphasis. 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 4 principal parts from which these Spanish words derive.
