For example, try the verb tener -- to have.The irregular conjugations (those that do not follow the rules such astengo, tienes, tiene, tienen) are marked in bold, while all regular forms (those that do follow the rules such as tenemos and tenéis) are italicized.

Cobuild Idiom of the Day
"This page features a daily expression from the Cobuild Dictionary of Idioms. Today’s entry was "to the marrow." "If you say that you are chilled to the marrow or frozen to the marrow, you are emphasizing that you are very cold." It can also be used to emphasize the intensity of someone’s beliefs, such as "communist to the marrow." The entries can be difficult to read because of errors in spacing between words, but exploring idioms is a fun way to deepen one’s understanding of our language."

Cindy’s Homepage
"Cindy (no last name provided) is an educational sign language interpreter in Florida. In her well-organized site, she discusses American Sign Language (ASL), interpreting, and introduces Deaf (capital "D") Culture versus the mainstream definition of deafness (small "d") as a disability. "Because there is a deaf community with its own language and Culture, there is a cultural frame in which to be deaf is not to be disabled. Quite the contrary, it is as we have seen an asset in Deaf Culture to be deaf in behavior, values, knowledge, and fluency in ASL. Deafness is not a disability but rather a different way of being." "
