    In Spanish, the conjugation endings for regular -ir and -er verbs differ mainly in the present tense. Here’s a simple breakdown:
### Present Tense:
- **-er verbs (like "comer")**:
- yo **como**
- tú **comes**
- él/ella/usted **come**
- nosotros/nosotras **comemos**
- vosotros/vosotras **coméis**
- ellos/ellas/ustedes **comen**
- **-ir verbs (like "vivir")**:
- yo **vivo**
- tú **vives**
- él/ella/usted **vive**
- nosotros/nosotras **vivimos**
- vosotros/vosotras **vivís**
- ellos/ellas/ustedes **viven**
### Key Differences:
1. **Nosotros/Nosotras form**:
- -er: **comemos**
- -ir: **vivimos**
2. **V vosotros/vosotras form**:
- -er: **coméis**
- -ir: **vivís**
So, the main difference lies in the endings for "nosotros/nosotras" and "vosotros/vosotras".
