Regular ER Verbs
The Spanish infinitive, or base form of the verb, is divided into two
parts: the stem and the ending. Many verbs end in er. The verb comer
(to eat) can be divided into the stem and base: com + er. In order to
conjugate a verb, you must change the ending in order to make the verb
agree with the subject. To conjugate a regular er verb, drop the er.
ending and add one of the following: o, es, e, emos, éis, en.
yo como
tú comes
él come
ella come
usted come
nosotros comemos
nosotras comemos
vosotros coméis
vosotras coméis
ellos comen
ellas comen
ustedes comen
