regular -ere verbs

A while back we saw how to conjugate regular verbs ending in -are. Today we'll learn the set of endings you add to regular -ere verbs. Eccoli qui, with prendere as an example.

Prendere – to take

io prendo
tu prendi
Lei prende
lui/lei prende
noi prendiamo
voi prendete
loro prendono

Notice the io, tu and noi endings are the same as the corresponding -are ones.

Memorize these endings (check back tomorrow for an exercise that will help) and soon you'll be saying things like, "Non ci credo!" - "I can't believe it!" from "credere" - "to believe", a regular -ere verb.
