Grammar Rules & Patterns
Expressing Likes: 'Me gusta + Infinitivo'
Me gusta + [verbo infinitivo]
To say you like doing an activity, always use 'Me gusta' followed by the verb in its original infinitive form (ending in -ar, -er, or -ir). You do not change the verb's ending in this case.
Conjugating Regular -ER Verbs (Present Tense)
Remove the -ER ending and add: -o (yo), -es (tú), -e (él/ella/usted).
When you want to say who is *doing* the action right now or as a habit, you must change the verb ending. For example, with the verb 'comer' (to eat): Yo como, tú comes, él come.
Conjugating Regular -IR Verbs (Present Tense)
Remove the -IR ending and add: -o (yo), -es (tú), -e (él/ella/usted).
This works just like -ER verbs for 'yo' and 'tú',...
