1) -ir ending verbs have a slightly different conjugation in the second person singular (tú) form. For example, the -ir verb "vivir" conjugates as "vives" in the tú form, while the -er verb "comer" conjugates as "comes" in the tú form.

2) -er ending verbs have a different conjugation in the first person plural (nosotros/nosotras) form. The -er verb "beber" conjugates as "bebemos" in the nosotros/nosotras form, while the -ir verb "subir" conjugates as "subimos" in the nosotros/nosotras form.

3) -ir ending verbs have a unique third person singular (él/ella/usted) form. The -ir verb "abrir" conjugates as "abre" in the third person singular form, while -er ending verbs, like "beber" conjugate as "bebe" in the same form.

4) Some -er ending verbs have an irregular stem change in the present tense, while -ir ending verbs do not. For example, the -er verb "poder" conjugates as "puedo" in the first person singular form, with a change from "o" to "ue," while the -ir verb "vivir" conjugates as "vivo" in the same form without any stem change.

Overall, while the endings for -ir and -er ending verbs are similar in most forms, there are some distinct differences in the second person singular, first person plural, third person singular, and in cases of irregular stem changes.
