Present tense of –er and –ir
verbs
- Like the –ar verbs you learned previously,
regular –er and –ir verbs follow a similar pattern in present tense.
- For –er/-ir
verbs, drop the –er/-ir from the infinitive (comer, escribir, etc…) and
add the appropriate ends. The
endings are the same for –er and –ir verbs except for in the
nosotros/vosotros forms.
