Spanish verbs are significally different to English verbs.
For Example:
English - To Study
Spanish - Estudiar
- - - - -
Now, english is simple.
"I study." "He studies." "You study." "She studies."
The spanish verb Estudiar really means To Study
To change this into I/You/He/She, first we drop the ending of the verb!
We now have Estudi.
I Study: Yo Estudio
To change the verb, you will always drop the last two letters. They will always be AR, IR, or ER.
You Study: Tu` estudies.
He/She Studies: Ella/El` Estudia
For the most part, these are the verb ending for You, Tu`, `El, and Ella. I also apoligize is this is confusing! I thought it may be of some help to you Spanish I students! heart
Feel free to post any questions or comments.

Pajama Monkey I didn't know that you drop the last two letters...
This helped alot! 4laugh Heh.. This was all confusing for me at first. What's about these verbs though, is..
Well, take the phrase "Me Gusta" which roughly means, I like.
Me Gusta estudiar.
I like to study
It's kind of perfect in that sense 3nodding

Maybe I should note that these are for AR, IR and ER verbs. Other verbs are different. I mean, youi still drop the last 2 letters, but the letters you replace them with aren't always ar, ir or er.
Here is a chart that might be helpful. This is for the verb to have.
Yo (I) tengo Tu (You) tienes El/Ella (He/She) tiene Nosotros/Nosotras (We) tenemos Vosotros/Vosotra teneis Ellos/Ellas tenen

You might wanna add the boot verbs, too. We've only barely covered them, but they might come in handy for those who have no idea. I didn't know that llamarse was the unconjugated form of llamo until two weeks ago. Then again, those might confuse people.

I didn't know that llamarse was the unconjugated form of llamo until two weeks ago. Then again, those might confuse people. Boot verbs are a good idea.. I'll add it to the lesson I am currently planning heart
It's kind of weird when I learn a boot verb..I sort of whine about it, yet I easily say and remember the word Tengo. sweatdrop

It's only used in Spain, so the Spanish teachers as my school told us they wouldn't test us on it. 3nodding

Speaking of charts being helpful, maybe a summary chart wouldn't hurt. I always liked charts while I was learning to conjugate, so I'll slap one up here for you guys.
After dropping the -AR, -ER, or -IR from the end of the verb, add the following endings.
-AR verbs Yo: -o Nosotros: -amos Tú: -as Vosotros: -áis (I think..) él/ella: -a Ellos/ellas: -an
-ER verbs Yo: -o Nosotros: -emos Tú: -es Vosotros: -éis (Maybe?) él/ella: -e Ellos/Ellas: -en
-IR verbs Yo: -o Nosotros: -imos Tú: -es Vosotros: (I honestly don't know.) él/ella: -e Ellos/Ellas: -en
