Regular -ER verbs are super common in Spanish. They are easy to use when we talk about what happens in the present. Let’s see how they work!

Conjugation Endings:

1. Yo: -o
   (Example: como - I eat)

2. Tú: -es
   (Example: comes - you eat)

3. Él/Ella/Usted: -e
   (Example: come - he/she/you formal eat)

4. Nosotros/Nosotras: -emos
   (Example: comemos - we eat)

5. Vosotros/Vosotras: -éis
   (Example: coméis - you all eat)

6. Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes: -en
   (Example: comen - they/you all eat)

Examples:

Let's take the verb comer (which means "to eat") and see how it changes:

• Yo como (I eat)
• Tú comes (You eat)
• Ellos comen (They eat)

Key Points:

• Always match the subject pronoun with the right ending.
• You can practice by making some changes. For example, if you want to say “I do not eat,” you can say “No como.”

By focusing on these endings, you’ll improve your Spanish speaking skills!
