Notar is a fully regular -AR verb. It follows the standard -AR conjugation pattern in every tense and mood without any stem changes, spelling changes, or irregular forms. This makes it a model verb for learning the -AR conjugation system.
In the present tense (presente), notar is conjugated as: yo noto, tú notas, él/ella/usted nota, nosotros notamos, vosotros notáis, ellos/ellas/ustedes notan. The present tense is used To talk about situations, events or thoughts that are happening now or in the near future. It is also used to talk about facts and truths.
In the preterite (pretérito indefinido), notar is conjugated as: yo noté, tú notaste, él/ella/usted notó, nosotros notamos, vosotros notasteis, ellos/ellas/ustedes notaron. The preterite is used To talk about actions completed in the past, at a specific point in time.
In the imperfect (pretérito imperfecto), notar is conjugated as: yo notaba, tú notabas, él/ella/usted notaba, nosotros notábamos, vosotros notabais, ellos/ellas/ustedes notaban. The imperfect is used To describe regular and repeated actions that happened in the past and descriptions of things you used to do.
In the future tense (futuro simple), notar is conjugated as: yo notaré, tú notarás, él/ella/usted notará, nosotros notaremos, vosotros notaréis, ellos/ellas/ustedes notarán. The future tense is used To talk about something that will happen in the future.
In the present subjunctive (subjuntivo presente), notar is conjugated as: yo note, tú notes, él/ella/usted note, nosotros notemos, vosotros notéis, ellos/ellas/ustedes noten. The present subjunctive is used To talk about situations of uncertainty, or emotions such as wishes, desires and hopes. It differs from the indicative mood due to the uncertainty of the events which are being spoken about.
Notar means ‘to notice, to feel, to note’ and notarse means ‘to be noticeable, to show (be visible)’. Notarse is the reflexive form of notar, so it always takes a reflexive pronoun – me, te, se, nos, os or se – that matches the subject. The verb itself is conjugated the same way: in the present tense, yo noto becomes me noto. In the affirmative tú imperative the pronoun attaches to the end of the verb, so nota becomes nótate.

Great program that has and is helping me immensely. Four years [studying Spanish] and after just a couple of days with this app I finally am 'getting' the verb thing into my head. After the first couple of lessons I finally feel comfortable conversing with the natives here in Panama. I still have a long way to go but this application was the key for me. Thank you!
