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	tú	-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	tú	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.
