From infinitive to a person

Recognize the three infinitive endings and read the person from a present-tense ending.

Remember

habl-ar → habl-o com-er → com-o viv-ir → viv-o

An infinitive names an action without a person. Spanish infinitives end in -ar, -er or -ir. For these regular present forms, remove the infinitive ending and attach the person ending. Notice nosotros: hablamos / comemos / vivimos. This is an introduction, not a rule for every verb or tense.

Yo hablo.

I speak.

Nosotros comemos.

We eat.

Nosotros vivimos.

We live.

Audio help

Voices are automatic: Orus reinforces masculine personal descriptions; Leda is used for feminine, neutral or ambiguous content. Explicit speaker metadata takes priority. Ordinary masculine nouns do not select a male voice. New recordings are prepared only on Play and saved for reuse. Both voices share the owner-approved monthly budget and 100 new recordings per browser profile per UTC day. Cached audio remains available when the budget is reached. If Google audio is unavailable, Spanish browser audio is labeled Browser Voice. If playback is blocked, use Tap to Play.
