How do you conjuate -ar -er and -ir verb?

3 answers

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help forum. Since you probably mean in the Present Indicative (verbs of Spanish I), the usual pattern verbs:

-ar = hablar
yo hablo
tú hablas
él/ella/usted habla
nosotros/nosotras hablamos
vosotros/vosotras hablais
ellos/ellas/ustedes hablan

-er = comer
yo como
tú comes
él/ella/usted come
nosotros/nosotras comemos
vosotros/vosotras comeis
ellos/ellas/ustedes comen

-ir = vivir
yo vivo
tú vives
él/ella/usted vive
nosotros/nosotras vivimos
vosotros/vosotras vivís
ellos/ellas/ustedes viven

The way to conjugate any regular verb then is to follow those patterns. Drop the infinitive ending -ar/-er/-ir and add the endings: -ar = o, as, a, amos, ais, an
-er = o, es, e, emos, eis, en
-ir = o, es, e, imos, ís, en

Note that the -er and -ir verbs have the same endings except for first person plural (nosotros) and second person plural (vosotros.) This is to say the "nosotros" form is your friend, clearly identifying -ir, -er, or -ir verbs.

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Actually, if you do "Post a New Question" we will not think it is part of the verb question!

Direct Objects:
English Spanish
me me
you (fam) te (familiar)
him, it (masc)
lo
her, it (fem.)
la
us nos
you (pl, familiar)
os
them los or las (depending upon the object being masculine plural or feminine plural)

In your example: comiste unos tacos it would be "los comiste."
