4 question Why the 10 most powerful common Spanish verbs are irregular? Because directly as a of their commonness and high frequency of use. Any verb that is common gets used a great deal, and therefore becomes subject to twisting, contortion, slanging and bending. The more it is used, the more it is changed and the more likely one of its forms or conjugations gets morphed into something else. Se debe directamente a su carácter de uso común o de alta frecuencia en su uso. Cualquier verbo que es de uso común, llegará a utilizarse mucho; por lo tanto, este quedará sujeto a diferentes flexiones, modismos, modificaciones y deformaciones lingüísticas. Cuanto más se utiliza estos verbos, más se cambian y es más probable que una de sus formas o conjugaciones se transforme en otra cosa.

Ser – to be, when referring to what something is. Estar – to be, when referring to how something is. Very important for constructing phrases like “I am doing” (progressive tenses). Ir – to go, an especially important verb because it is used to construct the forms like “going to” as in “I am going to do something” This acts as an easy and useful way to express a future tense.

5. Haber – to have. This verb and its conjugations are used to form phrases like “I have gone, I had gone, you would have gone, they will have gone…, etc. These are called compound sentences. Because haber is used as “a tool” to build these other tenses it is called an auxiliary verb. 6. Hacer – to do or to make. There are lots and lots of idiomatic expressions with this verb and a few tricky conjugations. 7. Querer – to want.
