Free Spanish Conjugated Verb Database

Consider reading the background to how this database was compiled.

Fred Jehle, formerly a professor at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, published approximately 600 verbs, fully conjugated in all moods and tenses, on his website in 1998. The resource helped students improve their verb use in addition to a variety of notes on other aspects of the language.

The roughly 600 verbs converted to 11,467 combinations of moods + tenses. Each verb is conjugated 18 ways:

My thanks go to Mr. Jehle for quickly answering my questions and allowing me to publish the data for other would-be Spanish students. I recommend that you also check out his website for additional Spanish content at http://users.ipfw.edu/jehle/VERBLIST.HTM.

Update August 2012 – Tim from the UK asked about parsing the CSV in C++. He pointed to a library that may be helpful for others at http://code.google.com/p/csv-parser-cplusplus/.

Update October 2015 – I’ve posted the files to Github where interested parties can submit changes and additions using pull requests.
