Present Tense in Spanish is what you use to conjugate verbs in the present. In Spanish there are: AR verbs, ER verbs, IR verbs.

Example) Tocar, Comer, Salir

You take off the AR, ER, or IR and add an ending to it. AR verb endings: (yo) - o (nosotros) - amos (tú) - as (vosotros) - áis (él, ella, usted) - a (ellos, ellas, ustedes) - an

ER verb endings: (yo) - o (nosotros) - emos (tú) - es (vosotros) - éis (él, ella, usted) - e (ellos, ellas, ustedes) - en

IR verb endings: (yo) - o (nosotros) - imos (tú) - es (vosotros) - ís (él, ella, usted) - e (ellos, ellas, ustedes) - en

Examples)

1) (AR) She studies - Ella estudia; from the verb Estudiar

2) (ER) I sleep - Yo duermo; from the verb Dormir

3) (IR) You receive - Recibes tú; from the verb Recibir

To use the present tense in Spanish, you conjugate verbs based on the subject pronoun (yo, tú, él/ella/usted, nosotros/nosotras, vosotros/vosotras, ellos/ellas/ustedes). Remove the infinitive ending (-ar, -er, -ir) and add the appropriate ending for each subject. For example, for the verb "hablar" (to speak): yo hablo, tú hablas, él/ella/usted habla, nosotros/nosotras hablamos, vosotros/vosotras habláis, ellos/ellas/ustedes hablan.
