Verbos regulares

-ER verbs are the second biggest category of regular Spanish verbs. To conjugate an -er verb, remove the infinitive ending and then add the appropriate endings, as follows:

Singular          Plural
1st person     yo -o   nosotros  -emos
2nd person -es   vosotros -éis
3rd person él -e   ellos -en

Thus to conjugate aprender, you’ll remove the infinitive ending to find the radical aprend and then add the appropriate endings:

APRENDER Singular          Plural
1st person    yo aprendo   nosotros  aprendemos
2nd person aprendes   vosotros aprendéis
3rd person él aprende   ellos aprenden

Note that the conjugations for AR, -ER, and -IR verbs are very similar. Where -AR verbs have an A, -ER verbs have an E. -IR verbs are identical to -ER verbs except in the nosotros and vosotros forms.
