HOW TO CHANGE A SENTENCE FROM THE INFINITIVE TO THE PRESENT TENSE IN THE FIRST PERSON OF THE SINGULAR (I)
If the verb is regular, remove the ending of the infinitive (-AR, -ER, -IR) and add -o.
Pay attention to the occasional irregular verb, for example: hacer and ver. Those might look they are regular because they end in -o, but their stem is irregular.
Here are some examples of how to change the verb in the infinitive to a conjugated verb in the present tense of ‘I’.
| Verb in the infinitive | Verb in the present tense |
|---|---|
| descargar música | Descargo música. |
| gastar batería | Gasto batería. |
| hacer la compra en línea | Hago la compra en línea. |
| llamar por videollamada | Llamo por videollamada. |
