* It can be taken at any time during the course from now on. You can take it right now, or just skip it so you can watch its content at the end, or even at any point all along with the lessons. Simply when you find it appropriate. Nevertheless by this stage having clear all the pronunciation rules previously learned is a must, as they are crucial to understanding this matter in its entirety.

Indicative mood: Present tense
At this point, we already started talking about Verb tenses and the Present is the first of them. That is why I highly recommend downloading the attached file of this lesson right away. It is a table where you will find a list with all the verbs that I employed as examples during the course. There you can easily visualize the tenses in which verbs are regular or irregular.
I also suggest having on hand, along with this file, an online verb conjugator such as Reverso or Lingolia, for instance. By doing this, you will have already all the tools to continue in this learning process.
Here some of the links of the conjugators I recommend:

Finally, in case of any doubt regarding the table, do not hesitate to write to me.
