Me gusta mucho esta série. Ayuda bastante.

In future verb lessons, I would like to learn something about verbs and their prepositions (phrasal verbs in English). I think that’s one of the most difficult things in a foreign language.

Hey there Hyunwoo Sun,
Good job with the conjugations for “volver”. Glad to hear you’re liking the series. Just a few tips to help you improve:

1) for the conjugation of “volver” (to return) that you posted, it should be “Él, Ella, Usted…vuelve”.

2) At the end of your post, when you say “espero que…”, you are expressing a desire, and in Spanish any time we express a wish or desire the verb following “espero” (I want/I hope) needs to be in the subjunctive form (confusing right?). So, the correct way to say it is: “Espero que este correcto” *note the change from “estA” to “estE”. We’ll be getting into the subjunctive form in future lessons on the site, so don’t worry if it seems complicated at first.

Cheers!

Kelly,

For typing Spanish accents, you might try this thread in the forum: http://www.spanishpod101.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17
If you’re still having problems, let me know.

I’m going to assume that you want to conjugate the verb “reír” in the present indicative. Two things to keep in mind: 1) every form receives an accent; 2) it’s meaning is “to laugh”. The verb for “smile”, however, is very similar “sonreír”, and if you can conjugate one, than you can conjugate both. Have a look:

yo río / sonrío
tú ríes / sonríes
él, ella, Ud. ríe / sonríe
nosotros reímos / sonreímos
vosotros reís / sonreís
ellos, ellas, Uds. ríen / sonríen

Keep up the good work! Now, maybe you could try to put together some sentences with these verbs…?

Muchos saludos,
Joseph
