With ConjuGato, you don’t need to type the answers – just think or say the correct verb form and tap to check for yourself (you can enable the typing option in settings if you wish). This makes it easy to practice conjugation on the go whenever you have a free minute. Feature Highlights: • NEW: Extra grammar quizzes for the subjunctive, noun gender, ser vs. estar, and more! • Guides for each tense and verb form, plus new guides for all the quizzes • Flexible settings: practice verbs based on irregularity, endings or popularity • Conjugation tables for each verb, with highlighted irregular forms • Spaced repetition algorithm for efficient exam preparation and long-term retention • Audio pronunciation for answers, infinitives, and conjugation tables • No ads, no internet connection required • Argentinian and Chilean 'voseo' verb forms • European and Latin American Spanish variants (with or without 'vosotros') We are a two-person team who moved to Chile without knowing any Spanish. Back then, conjugating even in the present tense was a struggle. We couldn't find a decent training app, so we created ConjuGato! Using it greatly improved our own conjugation skills, and it has since helped thousands of other app users – check out all those 5-star reviews! New in ConjuGato v3: alongside verb conjugation, you can now practice the Spanish subjunctive, tricky noun genders, por vs. para, and ser vs. estar through the extra quizzes. Each quiz includes a concise grammar guide and carefully chosen example sentences. We write, review, and proofread every explanation by hand, so the new material should be useful without overwhelming you with theory. ConjuGato is free for the first two tenses and 250 of the most popular verbs. If you need more advanced practice, there’s an affordable one-time upgrade that unlocks everything in the app forever. No subscriptions or hidden fees! Free version: • 250 common Spanish verbs • Indicative mood: Present, Preterite, and Present Progressive • Noun Gender and Por vs. Para quizzes, each with a grammar guide • Rhymes quiz for memorizing similar-sounding Spanish verbs in groups Pro version: • 1,750 verbs, including many advanced ones that B1–B2 learners may need • All moods: Indicative, Subjunctive, and Imperative • All tenses: Present, Preterite, Imperfect, Past Perfect (Pluperfect), Conditional, and Future, including their perfect and progressive (continuous) forms • Ser vs. Estar and Subjunctive quizzes, each with a grammar guide If there’s a feature you’re missing or you need assistance, please contact us – we’re always happy to help!
