Conjugation of Creer

Conjugation of Creer Creer, an everyday verb usually meaning to believe, is irregularly conjugated in terms of spelling but not pronunciation. The -i- in the conjugation ending is either accented or changed to -y- as needed to avoid diphthongs or an awkward -eie- combination. Common verbs that follow the same conjugation pattern are leer (to read), poseer (to possess) and proveer (to provide). Uncommon verbs with the same conjugation include descreer (to disbelieve), desposeer (to dispossess) and releer (to reread). Note that proveer has an alternative past participle, provisto, in addition to proveà ­do. Poseer also has an alternative past participle, poseso, in addition to poseà ­do.
