•14 exercises•Regular -ar•B1 – B2 level
IWhat to watch for

The present subjunctive of hablar swaps the -ar vowel for e: hable, hables, hable, hablemos, habléis, hablen. It is built from the yo form of the present (hablo → habl- + e), which is why regular verbs are so easy here — and why irregular ones such as tenga or haga look the way they do.

The trap for hablar is spelling: hable without an accent is the subjunctive (espero que hable), hablé with an accent is the preterite (ayer hablé). Hablemos also doubles as the nosotros command — hablemos claro, let's be frank — so one form gives you both.
