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!
