Theverbs They are a type of word with which actions, processes or states are expressed and can vary in tense (past, present or future), voice (active or passive), mood (indicative, subjunctive or imperative), number (singular or plural) and person (first, second or third).

Every verb is composed of two fundamental parts:

• Root (or lexeme). It is the part of the verb that expresses its meaning and is invariable. For example: partgo ("sal-" is the root)
• Ending (or termination). It is the part of the verb that is modified by the verb tense, the way and the person in which the verb is conjugated. For example: partthey went, partan, partwe'll go. 

Verb "love"

The verb "love" is composed of the root A.M– and the ending -ar

If we modify the ending, we can obtain the verb in other forms: A.Madored, amé, aman.

The most important information of a verb is given by the ending and not by the stem, since it adds information and grammatical meaning (or grammatical accident).

Let's see an example in a sentence: Grandpa amaba their grandchildren.

It will always be the ending that indicates who is performing this action and at what time.

If if we wanted to modify the time of the prayer we would say: Grandpa amaria their grandchildren. Here we can see that the meaning changes due to the tense used.

Root in irregular and regular verbs

• Regular verbs. The root remains unchanged in all its conjugations, the only thing that is modified is the ending. For example: temer (temor, temian), cantar (cantAron, cantace).
• Irregular verbs. The stem allows variations in some of its conjugations. For example: morgo (murthey went, diean), hacer (didRon, hagmasters)
