Present Tense - Regular Verbs

Regular verbs follow predictable patterns. There are only three types of regular verbs in Spanish. We call them:

• ar verbs
• er verbs
• ir verbs

We categorize Spanish verbs based on the last two letters of their infinitive form.

caminar (to walk) --> caminar --> ar verb
correr (to run) --> correr --> er verb
escribir (to write) --> escribir --> ir verb

To conjugate a regular verb in the present tense, replace the infinitive ending with the correct ending for each pronoun. Follow the links on the top right for an explanation of how to conjugate each of the three verb types.
