How to Conjugate
LESSON
In this lesson, we will use 2 model verbs: comer and vivir. In Spanish, you conjugate verbs by changing the ending. If the subject is I (yo), conjugate by dropping the ending and add -o.
Examples
ER : yo como (comer - er + o = como)
I eat, I am eating, I do eat
IR: yo vivo (vivir - ir + o = vivo)
I live, I am living, I do livee

ER: él/ella/usted come (comer - er + e = come)
he eats, she is eating, you (formal) do eat
IR: él/ella/usted vive (vivir - ir + e = vive)
