VERBOS REGULARES E IRREGULARES

Por la manera en que se conjugan, se pueden distinguir dos clases de verbos:

regulares e irregulares.

Los verbos regulares son los que conservan la misma raz en todas sus formas y
tienen las desinencias del modelo de su conjugacin (saltar, comer, vivir).

Presente Pretrito perfecto simple Futuro

saltar (modelo) salt-o salt- salt-ar
contestar contest-o contest- contest-ar

Se consideran regulares los verbos que tienen cambios en su raz en algunas de

sus formas por motivos nicamente ortogrficos:

Presente Pretrito perfecto simple Futuro

cazar caz-o cac- caz-ar
coger coj-o cog- cog-er

Los verbos irregulares son los que no conservan igual la raz en todas sus
formas, o tienen desinencias distintas del modelo de su conjugacin, o ambas
cosas.

Para saber si un verbo es regular o irregular basta observar las siguientes formas:

Primera persona del singular del presente de indicativo.

Tercera persona del singular del pretrito perfecto simple.
Primera persona del singular del futuro de indicativo.

Presente Pretrito perfecto simple Futuro

saltar (modelo) salt-o salt- salt-ar
mostrar muestr-o mostr- mostr-ar
andar and-o and-uvo and-ar
