Some things to note:

  1. All yo forms of regular verbs end in -o, all forms in -s, él forms in -a or -e, nosotros in -mos, vosotros in -is, and ellos in -n. As Spanish is a pro-drop language, you must get used to determining a verb's subject based on its ending.
  2. Notice the similarities between the -ER and -IR verbs. While not completely similar, they differ only in the nosotros and vosotros forms.
