In Spanish, -ir and -er verbs are both regular verb types, and while they share some similarities in their conjugation patterns, they also have distinct endings. Here’s a breakdown of how they differ in their conjugations in the present tense:

  1. Yo (I):

    • -er verb: -o (e.g., comer → como)
    • -ir verb: -o (e.g., vivir → vivo)
  2. Tú (you - informal):

    • -er verb: -es (e.g., comer → comes)
    • -ir verb: -es (e.g., vivir → vives)
  3. Él/Ella/Usted (he/she/you - formal):

    • -er verb: -e (e.g., comer → come)
    • -ir verb: -e (e.g., vivir → vive)
  4. Nosotros/Nosotras (we):

    • -er verb: -emos (e.g., comer → comemos)
    • -ir verb: -imos (e.g., vivir → vivimos)
  5. Vosotros/Vosotras (you all - informal in Spain):

    • -er verb: -éis (e.g., comer → coméis)
    • -ir verb: -ís (e.g., vivir → vivís)
  6. Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes (they/you all - formal):

    • -er verb: -en (e.g., comer → comen)
    • -ir verb: -en (e.g., vivir → viven)

Summary of Differences:

  • The main difference occurs in the nosotros/nosotras (we) and vosotros/vosotras (you all) forms, where -er verbs use -emos and -éis, while -ir verbs use -imos and -ís respectively.
  • In other forms (yo, tú, él/ella/usted, ellos/ellas/ustedes), the endings for -er and -ir verbs are identical.

Understanding these distinctions helps when conjugating verbs accurately in Spanish.

You’re already familiar with -ar verbs. Now let’s look at two other types of Spanish verbs: those ending in -er and those ending in -ir. We’ll treat these two types of verbs together, as they actually behave quite similarly. In fact, they behave quite similarly to the -ar verbs as well.
As examples, we’ll use the verb comer meaning to eat, and the verb compartir, which means to share.
comer

yo como nosotros, nosotras comemos
tú comes vosotros, vosotras coméis
él/ella
usted come ellos/ellas
ustedes comen
compartir

yo comparto nosotras, nosotras compartimos
tú compartes vosotros, vosotras compartís
él/ella
usted comparte ellos/ellas
ustedes comparten
Notice that all the singular endings are the same for both verb types. So is the form for él/ella/usted. The other two plural endings are similar, but not exact.
Do you remember the endings for -ar verbs? Take a look at the following chart to refresh your memory.
cantar

yo canto nosotros, nosotras cantamos
tú cantas vosotros, vosotras cantáis
él/ella
usted canta ellos/ellas
ustedes cantan
Notice that the difference between the three types of verbs is that -ar verbs use endings with a, -er verbs use endings with e, and -ir verbs use endings with e or i.

this is all they taught me now you get the info from that and dont add anything more. and just answer the question as short as possible

The endings for -er and -ir verbs in the present tense are similar for the singular forms and the él/ella/usted form. However, they differ in the plural forms:

  • -er endings:

    • nosotros/as: -emos
    • vosotros/as: -éis
  • -ir endings:

    • nosotros/as: -imos
    • vosotros/as: -ís

So, the differences are in the nosotros and vosotros forms.

Just answer the question in one small paragraph

The main difference between the conjugation endings of -er and -ir verbs in the present tense lies in the plural forms: for -er verbs, the endings are -emos for nosotros/as and -éis for vosotros/as, while for -ir verbs, the endings are -imos for nosotros/as and -ís for vosotros/as. The singular forms and the él/ella/usted form are the same for both types.
