Introduction to Soler
“Soler” is a unique Spanish verb meaning “to usually do” or “to tend to.” It’s used exclusively to describe habitual actions or routines, and importantly, it’s only conjugated in the present indicative and imperfect indicative tenses.
Unlike most Spanish verbs, “soler” is a defective verb that is only used in certain tenses – specifically the present indicative and imperfect indicative. It does not have a past participle or gerund form in practical usage, as these would conflict with its function of describing habitual actions.
Example Sentences:
- Present Tense Usage
Suelo dormir temprano. I usually go to sleep early. - Imperfect Tense Usage
Solía visitar a mis abuelos los domingos. I used to visit my grandparents on Sundays.
