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.

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.

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

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
