        In Spanish, you have to conjugate, or change, the ends of the verbs according to the subject pronoun. Here are the subject pronouns in Spanish:

 * tú= you ||= vosotros= you all ||
 * el/ella/usted=him/her/him or her formal ||= ellos/ellas/ustedes= them masculine or masculine and feminine/them feminine/them masculine and/or feminine formal ||

There are different endings of the verbs for the different subject pronouns. Sequence the ar verbs endings:
 * yo= o || nosotros= amos ||
 * tú= as || vosotros= aís ||
 * el/ella/usted= a || ellos/ellas/ustedes= an ||

Here is an example of conjugating ar verbs.
