Present-tense of regular verbs
1. Remember that in Spanish there are three groups of regular verbs.
2. Verbs that end in –ar, -er, and –ir are in the infinitive form. 3. To form the present tense of a regular verb, you drop the –ar, -
er, or –ir and add the appropriate present-tense ending. 4. Use the present tense to talk about what someone is doing or
what someone does.
