    When you want to learn verb conjugation, don't study verb conjugation.
    Learning verb conjugation is impossible.
    In fact, learning just PAST TENSE verb conjugation is impossible too.
    Actually, even just learning PRETERITE TENSE verb conjugation is impossible.
    Unless you have a photographic memory.
    To learn verb conjugations, you need to focus on (and practice) one verb conjugation PATTERN at a time.
    And it all starts today. Your first past tense verb conjugation pattern.
    Regular, preterite AR conjugations.
    Focus on one verb conjugation pattern at a time, and you'll see, it's really not that hard.
    Try to learn them all--you'll end up learning none of them.
    Focus is the key. Targeted focus.
    One pattern at a time. It's faster. It's better.

    now i see the problem with some English courses for learning Spanish.
    basically as a native speaker the teacher do the same, they teach the charts.
    but as student we learn the pattern. use the pattern and then just modify the word as an instinct and just learn the irregular just for avoid the errors.
    basically i just learn that the patterns re-do itself, just hast to modify to the word.
    it is like if the word were a chameleon that change it colors to several situations.
    for me what it work were learn the pattern then practice using in sentences. it's like a grammar sense that you develop.

    It's one way I guess to "learn" verbs conjugations. But verb endings are not real. They are made up to try to explain verb forms, but what's going on in our head to actually acquire these forms is completely different.

    Hola me gustaría corregir algo sobre el verbo irregular ENCONTRAR: un verbo puede ser regular o irregular.El verbo esta formado de la raíz y desinencia..lo cual estas partes indican tiempo, persona, modo y significado..Un verbo regular va a mantener su raiz y el irregular va a cambiar en las conjugaciones ..Entonces es incorrecto decir que un verbo es regular en un tiempo e irregular en otro tiempo verbal..Los verbos no cambian su esencia ( irregular o regular ) con los modos,tiempos y persona sino lo determinan..Saludos
