  1. Regular Present Tense -ar, -er and –irVerbs

  2. There are 3 types of regular verbs in Spanish: verbs that en in –ar, verbs that end in –er, and verbs that end in –ir. You’ve already learned –ar verbs: yo hablo nosotros hablamos tú hablas vosotros habláis él, ella habla ellos hablan

  3. Now for –er verbs: To form –er verbs, take off the –er and then add the following endings: comer (to eat) -o -emos comocomemos -es -éis comes coméis -e -en come comen Notice that the only difference between –er verbs and –ar verbs is that you use e’s instead of a’s: -ar -er -o -amos -o -emos -as -áis -es -éis -a -an -e -en

  4. Now for –ir verbs. Drop the –ir and add the following endings: abrir (to open) -o -imos abro abrimos -es -ís abres abrís -e -en abre abren Do you see what the difference is between –er and –ir verbs? They’re just alike except for the nosotros and vosotros forms: -er-ir -o -emos -o -imos -es -éis -es -ís -e -en -e -en

  5. So when you’re conjugating verbs, check if the infinitive ends with an –ar, –er, or –ir, so you’ll know what ending to put on it: HABLAR You talk: hablas we talk: hablamos COMER You eat: comes we eat: comemos ABRIR You open: abres we open: abrimos
