Present tenses on regular verbs have the same ending, the only thing we have to look at is at the conjugations:

* If the infinitive verb ends with "'''-ar'''" it's a 1st conjugation verb. For example '''cantar''' (sing)
* If the infinitive verb ends with "'''-er'''" it's a 2nd conjugation verb. For example '''correr''' (run)
* If the infinitive verb ends with "'''-ir'''" it's a 3rd conjugation verb. For example '''existir''' (exist)

Every conjugation in its regular form follows the same model and only the ending changes, in order to find out which part of the verb does not change that we have to separate the '''lexeme''' from the '''ending...'''

''"How do we separate the lexeme from the ending in Spanish?"''

Easy:

-We have the verb '''CANTAR'''

-We know it is a first conjugation verb because it ends with '''-AR'''

-Now we have to separate the conjugation from the verb. Like this: '''CANT - AR'''

-Now, we know '''CANT-''' is the '''lexeme''' and it is the part of the word that '''doesn't change''' when we conjugate the verb

Now, let's start with the present tenses with the '''1st conjugation.'''

Remember, regular verbs follow the same model:

==== CANTAR ====
Yo cant'''o'''

Tu cant'''as'''

Él/ella cant'''a'''

Nosotros cant'''amos'''

Vosotros cant'''áis'''

Ellos/ellas cant'''an'''

Now let's continue with the '''2nd conjugation.'''

==== CORRER ====
Yo corr'''o'''

Tu corr'''es'''

Él/ella corr'''e'''

Nosotros corr'''emos'''

Vosotros corr'''éis'''

Ellos/ellas corr'''en'''

Lastly, the '''3rd conjugation'''.

==== EXISTIR ====
Yo exist'''o'''

Tu exist'''es'''

Él/ella exist'''e'''

Nosotros exist'''imos'''

Vosotros exist'''ís'''

Ellos/ellas exist'''en'''
