In Spanish we use verbs to talk about actions, activities or processes. As in English, the Spanish verbs are adapted to the subject in the sentence. This is called the conjugation of the verb.
In Spanish, the infinitive is a base form of the verb. There are three different possibilities for a Spanish infinitive to end in: -ar, -er or -ir. Regular verbs with -ar, -er or -ir all have their own set of endings for the present simple.
Some examples are in the following table.
-ar | -er | -ir |
---|---|---|
hablar (to speak) | comer (to eat) | vivir (to live) |
bailar (to dance) | depender (to depend) | recibir (to receive, to get) |

In Spanish, as well as, in English you have different verb types. On this page the following types will be discussed.

In Spanish, modal verbs are used together with the infinitive of a verb. They "modify" the statement of the full verb in the sentences to express a possibility, necessity, ability, obligation or permission.

In Spanish, reflexive verbs are much more common than in English. The infinitive form of a reflexive verb has se attached to the end of it. The se on the end of the verb can mean himself, herself, itself, yourself, and oneself. Se is called a reflexive pronoun.
Reflexive verbs are often used to describe things you do to yourself every day or that involve a change, for example, to wash yourself or to go to sleep.

I am a CELTA certified Teacher of English and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism. I have a vast experience teaching General English, preparation for Cambridge exams-, pronunciation, speaking and developing writing skills. I have been teaching for over 18 years to students of different age ranges (young learners and adults at universities, middle and high school and academies.
What I love most about teaching is that I get to help students and make them see how beautiful this language is and how they can make it useful for their academic and professional lives. Another good point is that we can learn from each other and the opportunity to plan every class in a different way.
I think I can tailor your lessons according to your needs so, do not hesitate and contact me.
See you soon,

My name is Eleni and I’m a certified Greek language tutor and a native speaker of Greek, living in Hania, Crete. I'm also a certified English teacher and provide English language lessons to all levels and ages.
I'm specialized in teaching a foreign language to students with learning difficulties.
I have experience in teaching Modern Greek to children and adults of various levels, from absolute beginners to advanced students. My teaching depends on my students, their needs, their interests and their level in Greek language.
The materials I use during the learning journey are updated and colorful learning materials – the materials are structured in accordance with the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR). Furthermore, I use interactive material, like videos, music, and up-to-date software, where the student gets engaged during the learning process.
My goal is to maintain my students enthusiasm and curiosity during this learning journey. I make sure my students improve their speaking skills and get results so that they can talk with confidence to Greek speakers.
Book your trial lesson and we will discuss your language needs in detail.
I look forward to meeting you. Ya sou!

Hi, I'm Francesca
I have been teaching Italian to adults since 2010, individual and group lessons. I have a degree in English and French, and I have a diploma of interpreter in German. In the summer I teach Italian in full immersion courses in Tuscany, where I live.
I really enjoy helping people to learn more not only about Italian as a language but also the rich Italian culture.
Usually I divide my lessons into three parts: a bit of grammar (which is unfortunately very useful...but I can teach you some tricks to learn without much effort!), a listening/reading comprehension part usually with videos, songs, docs about Italy and then ... we talk about Italy!
I will provide all material, and I'll send them by email.

Hello =)
My name is Karolin and since the beginning of 2017, while I was still living in Chile, I've been giving online classes. I really enjoy my work and it gives me the privilage to get to know people from all around the world, which is amazing.
Both in English and in German, I teach classes for beginners and advanced students. I speak Spanish fluently, but as I lived in Chile for around 5 years, both my pronounciation and my choice of words are influenced by that. I learned and teach the european Spanish but only for beginners (A1/A2). But if you don't mind the chilenean influence, I do teach to a higher level as well.
If you'd like to get to know me and my teaching methods, just contact me and we will do a free trial lesson (please do NOT by a lesson before the trial lesson, not every teacher is good for every student).
See you soon!

Hello! My name is Ainhoa, I am Spanish and I live in Bilbao, a city in the north of Spain. I love languages and learning about new cultures, that is why I decided to teach Spanish. I find it very gratifying to see the students improve.
I am patient and cheerful, and I strive to create a comfortable environment where students are not afraid to make mistakes. I am positive and I firmly believe that anyone with effort, perseverance and correct accompaniment can improve.
I am an online Spanish teacher certified by ELE International and I have been teaching Spanish since 2019. In 2020 I formalized my business and became freelance.
In these years, I have studied Spanish grammar thoroughly and I have tried many teaching methods that were taught to me in my training, which has led me to create my own method with what I have seen has given better results. I use spaced repetition, create projects, do real-life rollplays, and have the student come to the correct conclusion on their own using questions. For all this, we will use manuals that will guide your learning, the campus diffusion books.
I have helped students of all levels to improve Spanish until they can speak correctly. Each student learns differently and has their own challenges, so I have learned which resources work best for each person.
In my classes you will find a smily face and a relaxed atmosphere, in which you will feel free to ask questions as much as necessary and to express yourself without fear of mistakes.
See you soon!
