In my opinion, the most basic rules of conjugating a Spanish verb are quite simple and
can easily be done without the use of programs. It is the exceptions, however, the
sudden spelling changes that must be applied to particular verbs but not others, the
stem-changing verbs that follow specific patterns, and, of course, those irregular
verbs that never seem to go away that are most likely to require the use of such
programs as this. Unfortunately, the majority of Spanish conjugators available are
unaware of even the most common irregular verbs.


Description:

This is the ultimate Spanish verb conjugator. The current version supports virtually
all the funny little rules that can sometimes be hard to remember. The program can
accurately conjugate all regular verbs, including those with not-so-regular spelling
changes.* Massive lists of annoying stem-changing verbs and chaotic exceptions to
every rule written, those pesky irregular verbs, are also included in the program's
data-bank. Included in this archive is an extensive list of all the 116 verbs that are
exceptions to the normal rules that the program is aware of, divided into 2 lists,
with 3 sub lists each. The Stem-Changing Verbs list also includes the type of stem
change that takes place (Hey, feel free to simply use the document as reference
for these things in class!).

* Spelling rules are delt with using partial string searches, there are no
pre-programmed verbs. Therefore, one could make up their own verb that a spelling
change would be used on, and the program will conjugate the non-existent verb
accurately.
