VERBS

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.
