In Spanish, we sort regular verbs into three main groups based on their endings. These groups are -ar, -er, and -ir.

Today, let's talk about the verb "comer," which is part of the -er group.

Learning how to change verbs for different subjects in the present tense is really important. It helps us speak and write better. So, let's see how to change "comer."

1. Know the Subject:

The way we change the verb depends on who is doing the action. Here are the subjects you need to know:

• Yo (I)
• Tú (You - informal)
• Él/Ella/Usted (He/She/You - formal)
• Nosotros/Nosotras (We)
• Vosotros/Vosotras (You all - informal, mostly used in Spain)
• Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes (They/You all - formal)

2. Conjugation Endings:

For -er verbs like "comer," we use special endings in the present tense:

• Yo: -o
• Tú: -es
• Él/Ella/Usted: -e
• Nosotros/Nosotras: -emos
• Vosotros/Vosotras: -éis
• Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes: -en

3. Conjugating "comer":

Here’s how we change "comer" for each subject:

• Yo como (I eat)
• Tú comes (You eat)
• Él/Ella/Usted come (He/She/You eat)
• Nosotros/Nosotras comemos (We eat)
• Vosotros/Vosotras coméis (You all eat)
• Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes comen (They/You all eat)

Now, you can practice making sentences with these forms.

For example:

• "Yo como una manzana" (I eat an apple)
• "Nosotros comemos en el restaurante" (We eat at the restaurant)
