Summary
DAR is a short irregular model with a few core changes:
doy (present yo), di/dio (preterite), and dé in present subjunctive.
Other areas behave regularly from the infinitive:
daré, daría, dado.
Technical explanation
Monosyllabic irregular model (dar):
- Present indicative: doy, das, da, damos, dais, dan.
- Present subjunctive: dé, des, dé, demos, deis, den.
The written accent in dé distinguishes the verb form from the preposition de.
- Preterite: di, diste, dio, dimos, disteis, dieron.
- Imperfect subjunctive/future subjunctive derive from preterite:
diera... / diere...
- Future and conditional are regular from infinitive:
daré, daría.
- Imperative:
da, dé, demos, dad, den.
Examples
- Siempre doy las gracias.
- Ayer di una clase en Sevilla.
- Espero que me des una respuesta hoy.
