Spanish verb conjugation: ver

 Spanish verbs index

The verb ver is unusual in that it is ambiguous as to whether the e vowel is part of the infinitive ending or part of the stem. As a rule of thumb, the verb is more or less regular, but endings beginning with e have the e elided (for example, (él) ve, (ellos) ven instead of vee, veen). Arguably, the only real irregularity is that:

• the past participle is visto.

In the preterite, a slight spelling complication is that the first and third person singular forms are not written with an accent: because the forms consist of only one syllable, there is no need to mark the stressed syllable!

Although it looks unusual, the imperfect form is completely regular if you see ve- as being the stem.
