(also ela, você) Ele fal a We speak Nós fal amos You (p) speak Vós fal ais They speak
(also elas, vocês) Eles fal am
-er present tense regular verbs
I eat Eu com o You (s,inf) eat Tu com es He eats
(also ela, você) Ele com e We eat Nós com emos You (p) eat Vós com eis They eat
(also elas, vocês) Eles com em

I leave Eu part o You (s,inf) leave Tu part es He leaves
(also ela, você) Ele part e We leave Nós part imos You (p) leave Vós part is They leave
