As you know, just by swapping endings, you can change the tense and the person all together. Let’s revise them.

1. Use the Present Indicative tense.2. Select the first person (yo)3. Eliminate the ‘-o’4. Add the following endings.

Just a note on the Subjunctive.

Please don’t worry yourself with the subjunctive. It is for people towards the end of the A2 course. It’s difficult in English, let alone Spanish.

I do not expect anybody, even the Spanish, to know the subjunctive and for this reason, I have left the Imperfect Subjunctive out.

I hope that helped!
