When it comes to talking about habits, the Spanish verb soler is incredibly important.

While you can use words like normalmente or regularmente to talk about things you ‘usually’ do, in many instances your Spanish will sound more natural if you use a sentence with soler instead.

Soler – to tend to / usually

Soler doesn’t have a good equivalent verb in English.

But, you can think of soler to mean ‘to tend to’ or ‘to be accustomed to’.

Also, whenever you have an English sentence with ‘normally’, ‘usually’, or ‘generally’, you can use soler as the translation of these words into Spanish.
