Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'devolveré' a regular or irregular verb form?

The infinitive verb 'devolver' is technically irregular because its stem changes (o becomes ue) in the present tense ('yo devuelvo'). However, in the simple future tense, like 'devolveré,' the verb behaves regularly and uses the standard future endings, making it easy to conjugate!

How do I say 'I will return the keys to him'?

You would say 'Le devolveré las llaves.' The pronoun 'le' means 'to him' or 'to her' and comes before the conjugated verb.
