How it works
Regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs give you a predictable way to talk about everyday actions. This pattern typically appears as subject + conjugated verb and becomes easier when you meet it again in short, readable examples.
What to notice
- The subject pronoun is often optional because the verb ending already gives a clue.
- Keep an eye on -o, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an style endings.
Why it matters
Build the sentence frames that power daily routines and short stories.
Use in context
Once the endings feel familiar, even short reading passages become much less intimidating.
