Objetivos
- Identify the correct conjugation of verbs in the present tense that end in -er & -ir
These verbs are conjugated similarly to –ar verbs, but with different characteristic vowels. In order to form the present tense—just as you did with –ar verbs—remove the –er or –ir ending from the infinitive, and then add the following endings to the stem:
|
beber (to drink) |
|
| ( stem: beb ) | |
| singular | plural |
| yo beb o | nosotros beb emos |
| tú beb es | vosotros beb éis |
| él/ella/usted beb e | ellos/ellas/ustedes beb en |
| vivir (to live) | |
| (stem: viv ) | |
| singular | plural |
| yo viv o | nosotros viv imos |
| tú viv es | vosotros viv ís |
|
él/ella/usted viv e |
ellos/ellas/ustedes viv en |
Notice that the only differences between the endings of -er and -ir verbs in the present tense occur in the nosotros and vosotros forms.
- Yo vivo con mis compañeros de cuarto, pero yo bebo con otros amigos. ( I live with my roommates, but I drink with other friends. )
- Vivimos en una residencia ecológica y comemos comida vegetariana. ( We live in an ecological dorm and we eat vegetarian food. )
