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

.

Here is the present tense conjugation of

comer

.

yo como

tú comes

él come

ella come

usted come

nosotros comemos

nosotras comemos

vosotros coméis

vosotras coméis

ellos comen

ellas comen
