An important and rather difficult topic for almost any language is the change of verbs in persons, numbers and tenses, that is, conjugation. Salir, a Spanish verb used quite often in speech, is deviant: some of its forms differ from the standard paradigm. Such changes are connected with the fact that the Spanish language, being one of the descendants of Latin, developed in conditions of interaction with local Celtiberian dialects, the Visigoth language and Arabic.
Spanish verb system
Beginners to learn Spanish from scratch should immediately remember that, unlike Russian, Spanish verbs are not opposed in appearance. The completion or incompleteness of an action is marked by a system of tenses: for example, all completed actions are expressed using complex forms (Compuesto), which are formed using the verb haber and the passive past participle of the semantic verb. Continuing action is introduced using simple forms when the verb takes certain personal endings.
Indicative
Verbs in this moodconvey actions perceived as a real process in the past, present or future tenses. This mood is the most commonly used in Spanish. The conjugation of salir in all tenses of this mood is as follows:
| Presente | Pretérito imperfecto | Préterito compuesto | Pretérito idefinido | Pluscuamperfecto | Futuro Simple | Futuro Compuesto | |||
| salgo | salía | he | salido | salí | había | salido | saldré | habré | salido |
| sales | salías | has | saliste | habías | saldrás | habrás | |||
| sale | salía | ha | salió | había | saldrá | habrá | |||
| salimos | salíamos | hemos | salimos | habíamos | saldremos | habremos | |||
| salis | salíais | habéis | salisteis | habíais | saldréis | habréis | |||
| salen | salían | han | salieron | habían | saldrán | habrán | |||
Subjunctive
The use of verbs in this mood is possible when the speaker is reporting a supposed or desired action. Therefore, most often such forms are found in the subordinate part of a complex sentence. In simple sentencesthe subjunctive is used when the speaker wants to express a wish or regret.
| Presente | Pretérito imperfecto | Pretérito Compuesto | Pluscuamperfecto | |||
| Form on -ra | Form on -se | |||||
| salga | saliera | saliese | haya | salido | hubiera | salido |
| salgas | salieras | salieses | hayas | hubieras | ||
| salga | saliera | saliese | haya | hubiera | ||
| salgamos | saliéramos | saliésemos | hayamos | hubiéramos | ||
| salgais | salierais | salieseis | hayáis | hubierais | ||
| salgan | salieran | saliesen | hayan | hubieran | ||

Imperative
In Spanish, there are two forms of this mood: affirmative (Afirmativo) to induce action or order and prohibitive (Negativo) to express prohibition. The imperative mood appears in four forms: for formal address in the singular and plural and informal. In the second case, the corresponding Presente subjunctive forms are used.
| Afirmativo | Negativo |
| sale | no salgas |
| salga | no salga |
| salid | no salgáis |
