ER and IR verb conjugations in the present tense are almost identical. Below, comer (to eat), a common -er verb, and vivir (to live), a common -ir verb are divided by their stems (com-, viv-) and their conjugation endings, which change with the subject. All regular -er and -ir verbs are conjugated in this way, by adding the ending on to the stem. | ||
comer | vivir | |
Singular | ||
yo | com + o | viv + o |
tú | com + es | viv + es |
é / ella / usted | com + e | viv + e |
EXAMPLES: | Yo como la cena. | |
Plural | ||
nosotros / nosotras | com + emos | viv + imos |
vosotros / vosotras | com + éis | viv + ìs |
ellos / ellas / ustedes | com + en | viv + en |
EXAMPLES: | Nosotros comemos a las cinco. | |
Atention: | ||
| Attention: The Spanish present tense is equivalent to three English forms. | I eat lunch. I am eating lunch. I do eat lunch. | |
| Attention: The verb endings indicate who is doing the action, so often the subject pronouns are omitted. However, they can be used at any time, especially for emphasis or clarification. | I eat at two. Is she also eating? | |
