Regular Ar Verbs Conjugation Method

There is a three-step method that will make conjugating regular Spanish ar verbs very easy for you.

In order to conjugate verbs that end with -ar in the present perfect tense one must:

  1. Conjugate haber
  2. Cut off the -ar ending of the –ar verb
  3. Replace it with –ado

In the conjugation table above you can see the verb hablar which means to “to speak” in English.

We will take this verb and conjugate it in the “yo” form using the three-step method.

  1. he

When you conjugate haber in the yo form you get he.

  1. habl

Once you cut of the ar ending all that is left is habl.

  1. hablado

When we add the new ending ado, the final conjugated form will be hablado.

So when you wish to say “I have spoken” in Spanish you get:

Yo he hablado
