The Present Tense - Regular Verbs

The present tense is used in two cases:

1) When you want to talk about something that is happening now.

2) When you want to talk about something that happens on a regular basis.

The present tense of regular verbs is easy to form.

You take the verb in the infinitive (ending AR / ER / IR), take off the AR / ER or IR ending and add on the endings according to whom you want to talk about to the stem.

Here are the endings (in capitals):

HABLAR	VIVIR	COMER
hablO	vivO	comO
hablAS	vivES	comES
hablA	vivE	comE
hablAMOS	vivIMOS	comEMOS
hablÁIS	vivÍS	comÉIS
