Verb conjugation of –ER verbs is similar to –AR verb conjugation, and is done in two stages:
First, we remove the verb ending (-ER) and are left with the stem, CRE.
Second, we add the matching suffix -o,-es,-e,-emos,-éis,-en. Remember, -ER verb conjugations are similar to –AR verb conjugations, and we only have to replace the letter ‘A’ with the letter ‘E’ in the conjugated forms.
