Join us on a rigorous step-by-step journey to fluency. I'm Timothy, and this is LearnCraft Spanish.

Today we're going to learn the Spanish verb for to believe so that we can learn how to say things like, I believe in you, and I don't believe that

really happened. The verb is creer, which is spelled C-R-E-R. So, for example, I can't believe it.

No lo puto-cre-creer. So, for example, I can't believe it. The participle is creedo, with an accent mark on the eye.

See if you can predict the Spanish for this next example.

They haven't believed those things.

No have creed those things.

No have creed those things.

The verb creer is conjugated almost exactly like debert, but it's a little bit tricky.

Remember that in debert, the only part of the verb that changes is the part after the letter B.

For example, for I must, Deber changes to Debo. The O at the end replaces the ER in Deber. Well, for creer, the infinitive ends with E-E-R.

But we only replace the final ER when we conjugate it.

So, for example, the word for I believe is creo, spelled C-R-E-O.

Once again, the O replaces the final ER, just like in Deber.

Here's an example.

Yes, I believe it.

Si, lo creo.

The word for he, she, or Ustead believes is cre,

which is just like creer, but without the r at the end.

It's spelled with two E's, even though when you hear it spoken,

it sounds like there's just one E.

Here's an example.
