While there are many irregular verbs in Galician, we will focus on some of the most commonly used ones in this lesson. By studying these verbs, you will gain a solid understanding of the irregularities present in Galician verb conjugation.


<p>For example, let's take a look at the present tense of the regular verb "falar" (to speak):</p>
== Common Irregular Verbs ==

One of the most important irregular verbs in Galician is "ser," which means "to be." Let's take a look at its conjugation in the present tense:
