Notes:
All the verbs in Spanish end in -AR, -ER, -IR. This form is also known as the infinitive form of the verb.
- CaminAR – to walk
- ComER – to eat
- EscribIR – to write
To conjugate the verbs, you need to find the root of the word by removing the -AR, -ER, or IR ending and adding the specific ending for the appropriate pronoun.
caminAR – root = camin

| tú | caminas | ustedes | caminan |
| él/ella | camina | ellos/ellas | caminan |
bebER – root = beb
| yo | bebo | nosotros/nosotras | bebemos |
| tú | bebes | ustedes | beben |
