Conjugation of "ir" verbs

Changing “ir” ending verbs:

1. Drop the “ir” ending from the verb.
2. Add the appropriate ending to match the pronoun.
Yo – o
tú- es Nosotros/as- imos
él/ella/usted – e Ellos/ellas/uds. - en

The difference between "er" and "ir" ending verbs are the nosotros/as forms. The "ir" verb has the "imos" ending, and the "er" verb has the "emos" ending.

Example:
Abrir – to open
1. drop the ending = abr
2. add the appropriate ending to match the pronoun/person (yo, tú, él, ella, usted, nosotros, nosotras, ellos, ellas, ustedes)
yo abro nosotros/as – abrimos
tú abres
él abre ellos abren
ella abre ellas abren
usted abre ustedes abren
