Questions & Answers about Quiero memorizar cada verbo irregular antes del examen final.

Why is memorizar in the infinitive after quiero? Why not something like quiero memorizo?

In Spanish, when one verb expresses desire, intention, ability, obligation, etc., and is followed by another action, the second verb normally appears in the infinitive form:

• Quiero memorizar – I want to memorize
• Puedo ir – I can go
• Necesito estudiar – I need to study

You never conjugate both verbs in this structure. It’s:

[conjugated verb] + [infinitive]
quiero memorizar, puedo memorizar, tengo que memorizar

So quiero memorizo is incorrect; it’s like saying “I want I memorize.”

Could I say Yo quiero memorizar… instead of Quiero memorizar…?

Yes, Yo quiero memorizar… is grammatically correct.

Spanish is a pro‑drop language, which means subject pronouns (yo, tú, él, etc.) are often omitted because the verb ending already tells you who the subject is:

• Quiero = I want (yo)
• Quieres = you want (tú)
• Quiere = he/she/you (usted) want(s)

You usually add yo only to emphasize contrast, for example:

• Yo quiero memorizar cada verbo irregular, pero ellos no quieren.
  I want to memorize every irregular verb, but they don’t.

In a neutral sentence like yours, Quiero memorizar… is more natural.
