regular -er conjugations.

As we know that "Tú" is used as an informal form, while "Usted" is used as a formal one. What I wanted to ask is regarding the regular -er conjugation. There are sentences of: a. Tú comes una manzana. b. Usted come una manzana. Why those sentences do not use the same verb, that is "comes"?

They use the same "verb", but just a different "conjugation". Check the conjugation chart.

The tú form of comer ends in s, while the usted form does not.

I thought I'd might as well mention, that does not just go for -er verbs, but for -ar and -ir too...

I'm sure there's probably an official article on present tense conjugations somewhere here, I'm just too tired to look for it right now...
