How do I remember the conjugations of verbs in the present tense?

The key with present tense verbs is trying to recognize patterns:yo hablotú hablasél/ella hablanosotros hablamosvosotros habláisellos/ellas hablanas you can see:first person (Yo) always ends in an 'o'second person with an 's'nosotros forms always end with 'mos'vosotros with an accented vowel and 'is'ellos/ellas end with an 'n'try to memorise these patterns by testing yourself on a regular basis. The key to learning a language (especially verb forms) is to practice little and often. As an example, write down the present tense conjugation for 3 regular verbs, one of each type - hablar, beber, vivir. See if you can get them right by remembering the patterns and then correct yourself by checking a dictionary. Keep doing this simple 5 minute task once a day and gradually the conjugation for present tense regular verbs will be stuck in your memory! Then you can start adding in some irregular verbs to make it harder.
