IV.   PALABRAS DE ACCIÓN “REGULARES”(IR)/”Regular”action words ending in (IR)

  Another category of regular action words consists of those that end in -IR. All the words below follow the very same pattern; by merely changing the ending (IR), they will refer to I, you, it, we, or they

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

abrir

to open

añadir

to add

asistir

to attend

describir

to describe

discutir

to discuss

escribir

to write

interrumpir

to interrupt

ocurrir

to occur

partir

to leave

recibir

to receive

subir

to go up, climb

sufrir

to suffer

vivir

to live

Here is the pattern you follow:

 

Singular       

Plural

1st person    

yo

-o

nosotros 

-imos

2nd person

-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

abres

vosotros

abrís

3rd person

él

abre

ellos

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.
