verbs? I'm having troubles.
First, get the book "501 Spanish Verbs". It conjugates 501 verbs in the 14 common (7 regular and 7 compound) tenses, as well as the imperative. There is a section at the front which tells you about each of these tenses and how to use them, plus a few more. A CD is available with the newest edition, which has practice exercises. Most Spanish instructors recommend this book.
If that seems daunting try "Learn in Your Car Spanish Verbs 101". It conjugates the present, past (preterite and imperfect), and future tenses, as well as past and present participles. It is available on 4 audio Cd's.
I have used both of these, and each has its pluses. Which is best depends on what type of learner you are.

what kind? present, preterite, imperfect, subjuntive, stem changers. Their really all pure memorization, other then the preterite which you could draw a boot.

This i corny and my spanish teacher tought it to me but it works. You take off the "ar". You ask who is doing the action. Then you add the ending. I is Yo and the ending would be "o". You is tu and the ending is "as". He/she is el/ella and the ending would be "a". We is nosotros and the ending is "amos". Finally They wich is ellos and the ending is "an". Hope this info is helpfull.

Well the forms are Yo, tu , el ella usted, nosotros, vosotros, ellos ellas ustedes. The endings when you are conjugating an -ar verb are: O,as,a,amos,ais,an. So what you are gonna do is
1. Find the Stem
in the verb Cantar (to sing) the stem is Cant. you find the stem by taking off the ar.
2. Add the ending.
if you want to conjugate to the yo form. You would use O. so the verb would be Canto meaning I sing
Thats basically it for ar verbs.

Verb conjugations are just patterns. For each verb tense (present, preterite, imperfect, etc.) MEMORIZE the patterns for each pronoun and for each type of verb (ar, er, ir). Practice those patterns with lost of different regular verbs until you can recite them perfectly. The more you work with conjugation patterns, the more sense they make to you so that other tenses aren't nearly as hard to memorize.
Memorize any verbs that are irregular.
When you study, practice making the same sentence with different pronouns. Ex: Yo quiero comer, tu quieres comer, el quiere comer. (I cannot type accents on this computer)
For a language like Spanish, it's all patterns and vocabulary. Once you learn to conjugate in all the tenses, and you understand your pronouns well, then your skills will build as you add on new vocabulary and plug that into your patterns. Here is an illustration…
Yo quiero comer.
Nosotros queremos comer manzanas.
Mi amigo quiere comer en la casa.
Ella quiere comer hamburguesas en el restaurante.
(This is how your language grows, but you must make a firm foundation with your verb conjugations.)
