When conjugating verbs in Spanish, we must always follow these simple rules;Step 1 - remove the verb ending (AR, ER or IR) - all verbs in Spanish end in either an AR, an ER or an IRStep 2 - add the present tense endingAR- o (yo - I) as (tú - you informal)a (él/ella/usted - he/she/you formal)amos (nosotros - us)áis (vosotros - you all informal)an (ellos/ustedes - they/you all formal)ER - o (yo - I) es (tú - you informal)e (él/ella/usted - he/she/you formal)emos (nosotros - us)éis (vosotros - you all informal)en (ellos/ustedes - they/you all formal)IR - o (yo - I) es (tú - you informal)e (él/ella/usted - he/she/you formal)imos (nosotros - us)ís (vosotros - you all informal)en (ellos/ustedes - they/you all formal)And that's it! It's that simple!
