Is Having 1001 Spanish Verbs Fully Conjugated Really Necessary?
1001 Spanish verbs was a program that you could download to your PC relatively cheaply
and it provided the full conjugation for each of those verbs in the 12 most important tenses used in the Spanish language. Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to find this program for the PC nowadays and it now seems to be available for downloads to mobile phones only.
However, the question you should be asking is whether or not you actually need a program, or book, that provides the full conjugation for that number of verbs?
The simple answer to this question is 'no' and here is an explanation of why the answer is a negative. As you are no doubt aware, there are many thousands of regular verbs in Spanish, and these verbs fall into three groups. These three groups are comprised of verbs that end in either, -ar, -er or -ir.
Regular verbs are so-called because they follow exactly the same Spanish verb conjugation pattern as other verbs that use the same ending, this means you would only really need a full list of regular verbs and a single full conjugation sheet for each verb group in order to find the necessary form.
The only problem with Spanish, as with many other languages, are the high numbers of irregular Spanish verbs that there are...over 2000 to be precise! This, in itself, is enough to panic a Spanish language student especially as learning the conjugations of irregular Spanish verbs is considered the most difficult task when learning the language.
Two thousand seems an awfully large number of verbs with irregularities to learn and if you had to learn each one it would be, without a doubt, but when you consider first of all, that many of these verbs will be very rarely used, if at all, and secondly that these 2000 plus verbs can be further broken down into 66 or so different types of irregular patterns and the task appears much more doable!
So to recap...3 regular conjugation patterns and 66 irregular conjugation patterns, that is 69 different formations if my calculator is correct which is a long way from the 1001 Spanish verbs in the title. This being the case all you would need are the conjugation patterns for these 69 and lists containing regular -ar,-er and -ir verbs and irregular verbs for each irregularity.
The biggest problem that faces most, if not all, students of Spanish is that of actually learning verbs and how they are conjugated. Having all the verb sheets you need is great but unless you have an effective method of learning them you will still struggle. For years the only way to learn verbs was to recite and recite some more until you had memorized them...very tedious and boring, not to mention time consuming!
Well this has all changed with a revolutionary new software program that not only focuses the mind on specific problem areas but does so without the student ever becoming bored and the results are fast too with many users reporting excellent results. This revolutionary verb training software is called verbarrator and it demotes verb books and other verb programs to being only needed as reference tools.
If you are having problems with learning Spanish verb conjugation or are looking at the best way to do so you would be wise to check out the verbarrator software program.
