The Present Tense (Regular Verbs) - CLF Online Learning - Free Printable

Let’s work through this step by step.

This worksheet is about the Spanish present tense. It’s broken into 5 rounds, each asking for specific information about verb conjugations.

---

Round 1: What are the 3 groups of verbs?

In Spanish, regular verbs are grouped by their infinitive endings:
- Verbs ending in -ar
- Verbs ending in -er
- Verbs ending in -ir

So the answer is:
1. -ar verbs
2. -er verbs
3. -ir verbs

---

Round 2: What are the verb endings?

We need to fill in the table with the correct present tense endings for each pronoun and verb group.

Here’s how it works:

For -ar verbs (like *cantar*):
- Yo → -o
- Tú → -as
- Él/Ella → -a
- Nosotros/as → -amos
- Vosotros/as → -áis
- Ellos/Ellas → -an

For -er verbs (like *beber*):
- Yo → -o
- Tú → -es
- Él/Ella → -e
- Nosotros/as → -emos
- Vosotros/as → -éis
- Ellos/Ellas → -en

For -ir verbs (like *vivir*):
- Yo → -o
- Tú → -es
- Él/Ella → -e
- Nosotros/as → -imos
- Vosotros/as → -ís
- Ellos/Ellas → -en

Now let’s write them in the table format as requested.

Round 3: -ar verbs in the present tense (*cantar* – to sing)

We conjugate *cantar* for each subject:

1. I sing → yo canto
2. You (sing., inf.) sing → tú cantas
3. He sings → él canta
4. She sings → ella canta
5. We sing → nosotros cantamos
6. You (pl./for.) sing → vosotros cantáis
7. They sing (mixed) → ellos cantan

(Note: “mixed” means male and female together — use *ellos*)

Round 4: -er verbs in the present tense (*beber* – to drink)

Conjugate *beber*:

1. I drink → yo bebo
2. You (sing., inf.) drink → tú bebes
3. He drinks → él bebe
4. She drinks → ella bebe
5. We drink → nosotros bebemos
6. You (pl./for.) drink → vosotros bebéis
7. They (female) drink → ellas beben

(Note: “they (female)” = *ellas*, so we use *beben*)

---

Round 5: -ir verbs in the present tense (*vivir* – to live)

Conjugate *vivir*:

1. I live → yo vivo
2. You (sing., inf.) live → tú vives
3. He lives → él vive
