High-frequency verbs — jugar (to play), tener (to have), venir (to come), ir (to go), querer (to want/love), escuchar (to listen), sonreír (to smile), vender (to sell), intentar (to try), comprar (to buy). These ten are among the most used verbs in all of Spanish.

Tener, venir, ir — the most irregular — Tener → tengo (yo), then regular. Venir → vengo (yo), also stem-changing: vienes, viene. Ir is completely irregular: voy, vas, va, vamos, van. Querer → quiero (e→ie stem-change). Ir a + infinitive is the most common way to talk about the near future: Voy a comprar pan (I'm going to buy bread).
