How Galician conjugation works

To conjugate a verb is to change its form to show who is doing the action (the subject) and when (the tense). In each table above, the subject runs down the left and the matching form sits beside it, across 4 core tenses: Presente, Pretérito, Pretérito imperfecto, Futuro.

Verbs split into regular and irregular. Regular verbs follow a fixed pattern you can apply to thousands of others once you learn it; the badge on each verb names its type (irregular; identity, permanent traits, time for ser, for example). Irregular verbs like ser (to be) change in ways you memorize one by one, which is exactly why the most common verbs are so often the most irregular.

You do not learn these by staring at the grid. You learn them by meeting them, over and over, in real sentences until the pattern feels obvious. That is what reading does, and it is what reading in Lingo7 is built for: open a real book in Galician, tap any verb form to see its meaning, and the conjugations start to stick on their own.

Frequently asked questions

How do you conjugate Galician verbs?

To conjugate a Galician verb, you change its form to match the subject and the tense. Take ser (to be): in the eu form it is son now, fun in the past, and era in the future. Regular verbs follow a fixed pattern by ending; irregular ones you learn one at a time. This tool shows the full table for each.

What are the most common Galician verbs?

The most common Galician verbs include ser (to be), estar (to be), ter (to have), ir (to go), facer (to do, to make), querer (to want, to love), poder (to be able to, can), dicir (to say, to tell). These high-frequency verbs are also the most irregular in most languages, which is why they are worth drilling first. This tool has full present, past and future tables for all 15.

Is Galician verb conjugation hard?

Galician conjugation takes practice but follows clear rules. Regular verbs are predictable once you learn the endings; the real work is the handful of very common irregular verbs and knowing which tense to use. Galician is FSI Category I, about 750 hours to professional proficiency. The fastest way to make the forms automatic is to meet them again and again in real sentences, which is what reading does.

How many tenses does Galician have?

These three, Presente, Pretérito, Pretérito imperfecto, Futuro, are the core of everyday Galician and the right place to start. Real Galician also uses other moods and aspects (and, in most languages, extra compound tenses), but they build on the same stems and personal endings you see in these tables.
