conjugationA2v1.0.0
Erklärung
Dar, although an -ar verb, borrows the -er/-ir preterite endings: di, diste, dio, dimos, disteis, dieron. Ver is regular in shape but so short its forms look irregular: vi, viste, vio, vimos, visteis, vieron.
Because the forms are monosyllables, di, dio, vi, vio carry no written accent — current RAE spelling.
Both feed the imperfect subjunctive regularly: diera, viera.
