Esperar Conjugation Practice
Esperar covers three English verbs: to wait (espero el autobús), to hope (espero que estés bien) and to expect (no esperaba verte aquí). The forms are all regular; what matters is the mood after it — espero que takes the subjunctive, and esperar + infinitive is used when the subject stays the same.
Fully regular in every tense, conjugated like hablar.
