-GUAR verbs

yo agüé nosotros  aguamos
aguaste vosotros aguasteis
él aguó ellos aguaron


SUBJUNCTIVE

amenguar to lessen, diminish
amortiguar to muffle, cushion
averiguar to find out
desaguar to drain
santiguar to bless


-CUAR verbs

Spanish verbs that end in -CUAR are exceptions to all of the above: they should not have any kind of accent on the u, so they are conjugated exactly like regular -AR verbs.

Present tense: Evacuar - to evacuate
yo evacuo nosotros  evacuamos
evacuas vosotros evacuáis
él evacua ellos evacuan

 
Spanish verbs conjugated like this

adecuar to adapt
evacuar to evacuate
