One way you can expand on the words you already know is by using prefixes. Here are lessons we have on various families of verbs that come from the same root word but with varied prefixes:
- Verbs derived from decir
- Verbs ending in -ducir
- Verbs derived from poner
- Verbs derived from seguir
- Verbs derived from sentir
- Verbs derived from tener
- Verbs derived from venir
- Verbs derived from vivir
- Verbs derived from volver
You might have noticed that all the root verbs above are conjugated irregularly. The good news is that once you learn the conjugation of the root verb, it applies to all others in the family.
