Regular ER Verbs (present tense)
Er verbs are verbs that end in er. They are just like regular ar verbs but
get slightly different endings. The verbs leer-to read and creer-to believe
are er verbs. I read is leo. He reads is lee.(He or she or you will be used
interchangably). Leen is they read and leemos is we read.
To reiterate: Regular ER verbs (present tense)
verb stem + o = I
verb stem + e = he or you or she
verb stem + en = they
verb stem + emos= we
Regular IR Verbs (present tense) * Ir verbs have their own endings. They are:
verb stem + o = I
verb stem + e = he or she or you
verb stem + en = they
verb stem + imos= we
That's it for the regular present tense verbs. To get some practice with
verbs use the Main Menu choice PHRASES/VERBS. This PHRASE/VERB menu will
allow you to both learn the infinitives of verbs and to practice conjugation.
Before you do that you will need to learn about the past and future tenses of
the ar and er and ir verbs. You will also need to know a few irregular verbs.
Regular AR Verbs (past tenses). Just like the present tense we form the past.
verb stem + é = I | ie. hablé = I spoke
verb stem + ó = you | ie. habló = he spoke
verb stem + aron= they | ie. hablaron= they spoke
verb stem + amos= we | ie. hablamos= we spoke
