Discover Why 1001 Spanish Verbs are Too Many to Learn!
1001 Spanish verbs was a software program that you could download to your laptop quite cheaply that gave the full conjugation for 1001 verbs in the twelve most used tenses used in the Spanish language. However, it is quite difficult to find this program for the personal computer today and it now seems to be available for downloads to mobile phones only. Although, I might be mistaken!
However, the question you should be asking is if you actually need a program, or conjugation book, that provides the full conjugation for 1001 verbs?
The honest answer to this question is 'no' and here is an explanation of why the answer is a negative. You probably already know that there are many thousands of verbs in Spanish that are classed as regular, these verbs fall into three specific groups. These 3 groups are comprised of verbs that end in, -er, -ir or -ar.
Regular verbs are so-called because they follow the exact same Spanish verb conjugation formation as verbs using the same ending, this means you would only really need a full list of regular verbs and a lone full conjugation sheet for each verb group so that you could find the necessary form.
The only problem with Spanish, as with many other languages, are the great number of irregular Spanish verbs ...over two thousand to put a figure on it! This can strike panic in the mind of a Spanish language student especially as mastering Spanish irregular verb conjugation is deemed the most difficult area of study when learning the language.
Two thousand may seem like 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 begin to consider, that a lot of these verbs will hardly be used, if at all, and also that these two thousand plus verbs can be further broken down into sixty-six, or so, different types of irregular conjugation and the task appears much more doable!
Basically, there are...three regular patterns of conjugation and 66 irregular patterns of conjugation, together that is 69 different formations if my addition is on the money which is a long way from the 1001 Spanish verbs in the title. This being the situation, it goes without thinking that all that is therefore needed are the conjugation sheets for these 69 verbs and full lists that contain the regular -ar,-er and -ir verbs and each irregular verb for every irregularity.
However, having been shown the true number of different conjugation patterns in Spanish the biggest problem that most, if not all, students of Spanish face is that of actually memorizing them. Being in possession of every verb sheet you will ever require is fantastic but unless you have an affective method of learning them you will still struggle. For a long time the only way to learn verbs was to recite and recite some more until you had them etched into your frontal lob...very tedious and not very exciting, not to mention time consuming!
Nowadays, it can be a whole lot easier to study verb conjugation by using a revolutionary new software program that not only trains the mind on individual problem areas but does so whilst maintaining the students attention levels and the results are fast too as many users reporting excellent results succeeding where they were failing previously. This revolutionary verb training software is called verbarrator and it demotes verb books and other software conjugators to being only required as reference tools!
My advice would be, especially If you are having problems with learning Spanish verb conjugation, to look up the verbarrator software program when you get the chance.
