Okay, time to learn about conjugation. Pronounced con-jew-gay-shun"  It means to change a verb to its appropriate form to whom you are refering.

Verbs in spanish are conjugated in 6 forms. (I don't know the vosotros.) According to first person singular, first person plural, second person, third person singular and third person plural. Told ya you need to know your grammar.

El corresponds to he, and ella she. The plural of 'I' is 'we' = nostros for males or mixed gender and nosotras for all women. Usted is the polite version of 'you'. And ustedes is the plural version which means 'you all'. Vosotros is the informal 'you all' in Spain and some Latin American countries. Ustedes is more widely used.

You may not notice it, but we conjugate verbs in english all the time.  For instance

I eat. You eat.  He eats. We eat. They eat.

In english present tense only one form changes and that is the third person singular. But it's still conjugation. A common grammatical error is to say "don't" in stead of "doesn't". For example:

"It don't rain no more."

The sentence is not only a double negative, which by the way are completely correct in Spansh, it has an incorrect conjugation of "to do". "It" or the "weather" is third person singular so it should be does not, or doesn't.

Through my 4 years of study, I've learned 14 different tenses. And in english they're a whole lot easier. I didn't even realize there were so many! 

All you have to do is choose the tense, take off the infinitive ending and add the correct endings.

In English future tense we just use the word 'will' but that construction does not exist in Spanish, you must change the verb endings to indicate future tense and the same with all other tenses even though there are more words that are added in English to indicate a tense, like conditional uses 'would'.
