Some examples of verbs ending in -ir:
| vivir to live | escribir to write | abrir to open | compartir to share |
In the present tense, we replace the ending -ir by a different ending, depending on the person who is performing the action. Note that these endings are exactly the same as for verbs ending in -er.
| Replace -ir with | Ending | Example |
|---|---|---|
| First person (I) | -o | (yo) vivo I live |
| Second person (you) | -es | (tú) vives, (usted) vive you live |
| Third person (he, she) | -e | (él) vive, (ella) vive he lives, she lives |
Note that the polite form usted uses the third instead of the second person conjugation.
