My next task is focuing on past and present tense and ~ whoa baby! So I started with one tense - future - and discovered it too has a pattern. In most cases, you take the full word for the verb and add the following extensions:

Bailar
bailaré - I will dance
bailarás - You will dance
bailará - He/She/You (formal) will dance
bailaramos - We will dance
bailarán - They/You (Plural) will dance

David's right. It doesn't seem as overwhelming when I break it down like that rather than trying to memorize them all. I hope that helps.

Brenda, I'm following your lead (or maybe David's lead now that I read your above sentence closer) by learning one tense at a time. Like you, I started with the present, then went to the future tense. Anyway, I'm a lot more motivated now. I'm also finally getting a clue as to how to use words like se, me, lo, etc., which is a bit of a relief. Thanks, Chris
