There are three types of regular verbs in Spanish: verbs that end in –ar, verbs that end in –er, and verbs that end in –ir.

Remember that the only difference between –er

verbs and –ar verbs is that you use e’s instead of a’s:

-o -amos -o -emos-as -áis -es -éis-a -an -e -en

Now for –ir verbs. Drop the –ir and add the following endings:

abrir (to open)-o -imos abro abrimos-es -ís abres abrís-e -en abre abren

Do you see what the difference is between –er and –ir verbs? They’re just alike except for the nosotros and vosotros forms:

-o -emos -o -imos-es -éis -es -ís-e -en -e -en

So the only difference between –ar verbs and –er verbs is that you use e’s instead of a’s in the –er verbs. And the only difference between –er verbs and –ir verbs is the nosotros and vosotros forms.
