Present tenses on regular verbs have the same ending, the only thing we have to look at is at the conjugations:

  • If the infinitive verb ends with "-ar" it's a 1st conjugation verb. For example cantar (sing)
  • If the infinitive verb ends with "-er" it's a 2nd conjugation verb. For example correr (run)
  • If the infinitive verb ends with "-ir" it's a 3rd conjugation verb. For example existir (exist)

Every conjugation in its regular form follows the same model and only the ending changes, in order to find out which part of the verb does not change that we have to separate the lexeme from the ending...

"How do we separate the lexeme from the ending in Spanish?"

Easy:

  • We have the verb CANTAR
  • We know it is a first conjugation verb because it ends with -AR
  • Now we have to separate the conjugation from the verb. Like this: CANT - AR
  • Now, we know CANT- is the lexeme and it is the part of the word that doesn't change when we conjugate the verb

Now, let's start with the present tenses with the 1st conjugation.

Remember, regular verbs follow the same model:

CANTAR

  • Yo canto
  • Tu cantas
  • Él/ella canta
  • Nosotros cantamos
  • Vosotros cantáis
  • Ellos/ellas cantan
  • Now let's continue with the 2nd conjugation.

CORRER

  • Yo corro
  • Tu corres
  • Él/ella corre
  • Nosotros corremos
  • Vosotros corréis
  • Ellos/ellas corren
  • Lastly, the 3rd conjugation.

EXISTIR

  • Yo existo
  • Tu existes
  • Él/ella existe
  • Nosotros existimos
  • Vosotros existís
  • Ellos/ellas existen
