Grade 4 · Introductory Spanish

Use regular -er and -ir verbs with yo

The idea

Identify the written subject and check whether the infinitive ends in -ar, -er or -ir.

Step by step
  1. Identify the written subject and check whether the infinitive ends in -ar, -er or -ir.
  2. Remove the infinitive ending to find the stem. For Yo, use these endings: -er → -o; -ir → -o.
  3. Read the complete sentence for meaning and verify that the form agrees with its subject.

Example

Use the present indicative of comer: Yo ___ pan.

Answer

como

With Yo, comer becomes como. The sentence means “I eat bread.”
