basic verb help

Question

I'm starting to understand verb conjugation, but could do with some help. Using comer from first verb lesson, I know como, comes, come, comemos, coméis, and comen, for I, you, he/she, we, they. What about more specific use, like John eats or Mary eats, or my family eats or even my dog eats? Which ending should I use? Or am I getting too far advanced for myself? Any assistance appreciated. Would the same rules apply to AR and IR verbs as well?

Answer 1

Juan come Maria come My familia comen hasta el perro come.

Or, mi familia comEMOS if you are eating too. :) - Valerie, May 10, 2010

Answer 3

Hi fontanero, have you seen the fantastic verb conjugation threads created by our wonderful Carlos?

This one is on present tense.

Answer 4

For a person's name, you use the same ending as what you use for Ud.

So the sentence will be like : Juan come manzana. (Juan eats an apple.)

Hope it helped
