The Present Tense - regular verbs

There are three types of verbs in Spanish. We call them Ar, Er and Ir verbs. We catagorize verbs based on the last two letters of their infinitive form.

To conjugate a verb, we start with its infinitive form:

*Hablar*	Now we take off the -ar ending:
Hablar - ar = Habl	Now we add on one of the present tense endings: o, as, a, amos, an
Habl + (one of the endings)---->	*Hablo, hablas, habla, hablamos, hablan*
