Fortunately, conjugations in Spanish follow various patterns. That's what the -ar, -er, and -ir are all about.

• In Spanish, there are three different types of verbs. Look at the last two letters…

• Verbs which end in AR- hablar – to speak• Verbs which end in ER – beber – to drink • Verbs which end in IR – vivir – to live

• Notice the word “to” is incorporated into the verb in Spanish. There is no separate word needed for TO unlike English.
