Just wanted to add that even when Read is a irregular verb, "Leer" is a regular verb in spanish: Infinitive: Leer = Le+er Yo Le+o Tu Le+es El Le+e Nosotros Le+emos Vosotros Le+éis Ellos Le+en The verb Ser is irregular: Infinitve: Ser Yo soy Tu eres El es Nosotros somos Vosotros sois Ellos son

Es decir, un verbo es irregular porque al conjugarse en algunos de sus tiempos y modos, el mismo sufre una modificación en su raíz. Un ejemplo sería el verbo caber.
