Here are some of the
many -IR verbs that you will soon be able to conjugate:

nosotros |
-imos |
2nd person |
tú |
-es |
vosotros |
-ís |
3rd person |
él |
-e |
ellos |
-en |
Thus to conjugate abrir, you would remove the infinitive ending to find the radical
abr- and then add the appropriate endings:
ABRIR |
Singular |
Plural |
1st person |
yo |
abro |
nosotros |
abrimos |
2nd person |
tú |
abres |

3rd person |
él |

abren |
Note that the conjugations for -AR , -ER, and -IR verbs are very similar. Where -AR verbs
have an A, -ER verbs have an E. -IR verbs are identical to -ER verbs except in the nosotros and vosotros forms.
