Regular verbs in Galician are an essential part of any sentence. They are used to convey actions, states, or occurrences. Conjugating regular verbs in the present tense is an easy way to start your Galician language learning journey. In this lesson, you will learn how to build sentences using regular verbs in the present tense.
=== The Importance of Regular Verbs ===
 
Regular verbs are essential because they follow predictable patterns when conjugated. This predictability allows learners to gain confidence as they expand their vocabulary and begin to formulate sentences. In Galician, regular verbs are categorized into three groups based on their endings:
 
* '''-ar''' (e.g., ''falar'' - to speak)
 
* '''-er''' (e.g., ''comer'' - to eat)
 
* '''-ir''' (e.g., ''vivir'' - to live)
 
Each group has specific endings that are applied to the verb stem. Mastering these patterns will empower you to communicate effectively in Galician.
 
=== Conjugation of Regular Verbs in the Present Tense ===
 
Let's break down the conjugation patterns for the three types of regular verbs.
 
==== Regular -ar Verbs ====
 
For -ar verbs, the endings in the present tense are as follows:
 
* '''Eu''' (I) -o
 
* '''Ti''' (you, singular informal) -as
 
* '''El/Ela/Vostede''' (he/she/you, singular formal) -a
 
* '''Nós''' (we) -amos
 
* '''Vós''' (you, plural informal) -ades
 
* '''Eles/Elas/Vostedes''' (they/you, plural formal) -an
 
Here’s a table to illustrate the conjugation of the verb ''falar'' (to speak):
 
{| class="wikitable"

| eu falo  || /ew ˈfa.lo/ || I speak

* '''Nós''' (we) -emos

=== Practice Exercises ===
 
Now it's time to put your knowledge to the test! Here are some exercises to help you practice your conjugation skills.
 
''Exercise 1: Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb in parentheses.''
 
1. Eu __________ (falar) galego.
 
2. Ti __________ (comer) pan.
 
3. Nós __________ (vivir) en Santiago.
 
4. Ellas __________ (estudar) para o exame.
 
5. Vostede __________ (traballar) aquí.
 
''Exercise 2: Conjugate the following verbs in the present tense.''
 
1. ''xogar'' (to play) - '''ti''': __________
 
2. ''beber'' (to drink) - '''nós''': __________
 
3. ''vender'' (to sell) - '''eles''': __________
 
4. ''cantar'' (to sing) - '''el''': __________
 
5. ''abrir'' (to open) - '''vós''': __________
 
''Exercise 3: Translate the following sentences into Galician.''
 
1. I eat bread.
 
2. We live in the city.
 
3. They speak Spanish.
 
4. You study every day.
 
5. She dances beautifully.
 
''Exercise 4: Match the subject pronoun with the correct verb form.''
 
1. eu - a. falan
 
2. ti - b. come
 
3. el - c. bebo
 
4. nós - d. estudas
 
5. eles - e. comemos
 
''Exercise 5: Choose the correct verb form to complete the sentence.''
 
1. Nós __________ (viver) en Galicia.
 
a. vive
 
b. vivimos
 
c. vives


== What are regular verbs? ==
2. Ti __________ (xogar) moi ben.


In Galician, a regular verb is a verb whose conjugation follows a standard pattern. Unlike irregular verbs, whose root words change in unpredictable ways when conjugated, regular verbs only need suffixes to indicate the person and number of the sentence subject.
a. xogas


Example:
b. xogades


- Infinitive: falar (to speak)
c. xogamos
- Present tense:
  - Eu falo (I speak)
  - Ti falas (You speak)
  - El/Ela fala (He/She speaks)
  - Nós falamos (We speak)
  - Vós falades (You all speak)
  - Eles/Elas falam (They speak)


As you can see, the root word "falar" remains the same in all subjects. Only the suffixes change.
3. Eles __________ (estudar) para a clase.  


## Verbs ending in "-ar"
a. estudamos


Most Galician verbs end in "-ar". To conjugate these verbs, you take off the "-ar" ending and add the corresponding suffix. Here are the suffixes for the present tense:
b. estudan


| Person | Suffix        |
c. estudades
|--------|---------------|
| Eu    | -o            |
| Ti    | -as          |
| El/Ela | -a            |
| Nós    | -amos        |
| Vós    | -ades        |
| Eles/Elas | -an        |


Using the infinitive verb "falar" as an example, this is how you conjugate it in the present tense:
4. Vostede __________ (trabalhar) moito.


| Person | Galician  | Pronunciation | English            |
a. traballo
|--------|----------|---------------|---------------------|
| Eu    | falo    | /ˈfa.lo/      | I speak                |
| Ti    | falas    | /ˈfa.las/      | You speak          |
| El/Ela | fala    | /ˈfa.la/      | He/She speaks  |
| Nós    | falamos  | /fa.ˈla.mos/ | We speak            |
| Vós    | falades | /fa.ˈla.des/ | You all speak  |
| Eles/Elas | falam | /ˈfa.lam/    | They speak          |


### Examples of verbs ending in "-ar"
b. traballa


- falar (to speak)
c. traballades
- estudar (to study)
- cantar (to sing)
- andar (to walk)
- entrar (to enter)


## Verbs ending in "-er"
5. Eu __________ (comer) froitas.


Verbs ending in "-er" are slightly irregular in the present tense, but their conjugation follows a pattern. Here are the suffixes for the present tense:
a. come


| Person | Suffix        |
b. comes
|--------|---------------|
| Eu    | -o            |
| Ti    | -es          |
| El/Ela | -e            |
| Nós    | -emos        |
| Vós    | -edes        |
| Eles/Elas | -en        |


Here's an example of how to conjugate the verb "comer" (to eat) in the present tense:
c. como


| Person | Galician | Pronunciation | English            |
=== Solutions and Explanations ===
|--------|---------|---------------|---------------------|
| Eu    | como  | /ˈko.mo/      | I eat                |
| Ti    | comes  | /ˈko.mes/      | You eat            |
| El/Ela | come  | /ˈko.me/      | He/She eats    |
| Nós    | comemos | /ko.ˈme.mos/ | We eat            |
| Vós    | comed  | /ko.ˈmɛd/      | You all eat      |
| Eles/Elas | comen | /ˈko.men/      | They eat          |

|--------|---------|---------------|-----------------------|

Before we end this lesson, it's important to note a few things:
3. ''vender'' (to sell) - '''eles''': '''venden'''.


- The Galician language has a few irregular verbs, such as ser (to be) and ir (to go). These verbs must be memorized separately, as their conjugations do not follow the regular pattern.
4. ''cantar'' (to sing) - '''el''': '''canta'''.
- Some verbs, such as gustar (to like) and haber (to have), also have specific usage rules and different conjugations than regular verbs. We will cover those in future lessons.
- For now, the most important thing is to practice and memorize the regular verb conjugations in the present tense. Once you master these basics, you will be able to form simple sentences in Galician with ease.

The Importance of Regular Verbs[edit | edit source]

Regular verbs are essential because they follow predictable patterns when conjugated. This predictability allows learners to gain confidence as they expand their vocabulary and begin to formulate sentences. In Galician, regular verbs are categorized into three groups based on their endings:

  • -ar (e.g., falar - to speak)

Each group has specific endings that are applied to the verb stem. Mastering these patterns will empower you to communicate effectively in Galician.
