How do you conjugate -ir verbs?

Answer 1

Hola Scott!

It depends which tense and mood you are talking about.(there are 3 moods: Indicative, Subjunctive and Imperative) And there are also regular and irregular verbs.

You separate the stem of the infinitive verb, drop the IR ending and add the endings corresponding to each conjugation. So if we are talking about the Present Tense and also a regular verb: the endings to add to each verb are:

-o,-es, -e, -imos, - is, -en

For example: verb "to print" = imprimir . The stem is imprim-

Yo imprimo

tu imprimes

el/ella/usted imprime

Nosotros imprimimos

Vosotros imprimis

ellos,ellas,ustedes imprimen

Different tenses will have different endings.

Answer 2

To conjugate the verb to live (vivir), you’ll remove the infinitive ending to find the radical viv- and then add the appropriate endings: 0,ES,E,EMOS,IS, EN.

Regular -ir Verbs

Verbos regulare

Verb to live - vivir

Yo vivO Nosotros vivimOS

Tú vivES Vosotros vivIS

Él/Ella/Usted vivE Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes vivEN

Hi Scott! I assume you are wondering about the present tense.

Here are your conjugations for an -IR verb.

VENIR - to come

Yo vengo

Tú vienes

Él/Ella/Usted viene

Nosotros venimos

Vosotros venéis

Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes vienen

I hope that helps!
