Learn Spanish present tense conjugation
If you're new to learning Spanish, chances are that the conjugation for the present indicative tense is the first conjugation set you'll be learning. Although it isn't the easiest conjugation set, it's the one you'll be using most often.
As is the case with some of the other conjugation forms, the present indicative forms are made by removing the infinitive ending of the verb (-ar, -er or -ir) and replacing it with an ending that indicates who is performing the action of the verb.
To take one example, the infinitive form of the verb that means "to speak" is hablar. Its infinitive ending is -ar, leaving the stem of habl-. To say "I speak," add -o to the stem, forming hablo. To say "you speak" (singular informal), add -as to the stem, forming hablas. Other forms exist for other persons.
The endings are slightly different for verbs that end in -er and -ir, but the principle is the same. Remove the infinitive ending, then add the appropriate ending to the remaining stem.
The following chart shows the conjugations for each of the three infinitive types.
-AR verbs (hablar, besar, etc.)
Singular: -o (yo), -as (tú), -a (él, ella, usted)
Plural: -amos (nosotros, nosotras), -an (ellos, ellas, ustedes)
-ER and IR verbs (comer, vivir, etc.)
Singular: -o (yo), -es (tú), -e (él, ella, usted)
Plural: -emos/-imos (nosotros, nosotras) for -ER and -IR respectively, -en (ellos, ellas, ustedes)
Note that the conjugations above are for verbs that follow the regular conjugation. Although most verb conjugate regularly, the most common verbs usually do not (just as in English, where verbs such as "to be" and "to go" are highly irregular).
Hey... the er and ir don have those conjugations.
It's like:
comer:
yo como
tu comes
ud come
nosotros comamos
vosotros comais
uds comen
....
