Verbos Regulares

Published by Ruud Peter Boelens in

The conjugations for all Spanish regular verbs can be built by using the three forms for verbs ending in -ar, -er and -ir.

Create a function that takes a verb as string, and returns a string with the six person/number combinations (like in the examples). Watch out for verbs ending in -ir (check the notes). Try programming the construction rather than forming structures with arrays.

Examples

espVerb("pasar") ➞ "Yo paso, tú pasas, él pasa, nosotros pasamos, vosotros pasáis, ellos pasan."

espVerb("unir") ➞ "Yo uno, tú unes, él une, nosotros unimos, vosotros unís, ellos unen."

espVerb("correr") ➞ "Yo corro, tú corres, él corre, nosotros corremos, vosotros corréis, ellos corren."

The smallest category of regular Spanish verbs is those that end in -ir. To conjugate them, remove the infinitive ending and then add one of the following verb endings:

...SingularPlural
1st personyo -onosotros -imos
2nd persontú -esvosotros -ís
3rd personél -eellos -en

Notes

  • This is for European Spanish, so the second person plural is vosotros pasais, not ustedes pasan
  • We're only using regular Spanish verbs. So no yo conozco, tú conoces, etc.
  • Pay attention to the accent marks! Feel free to copy them from the test page if you want.
