Present Tense: Regular -AR Verbs
वर्तमान काल: नियमित -AR क्रियाएँ
Spanish sorts every regular verb into one of three families by its infinitive ending — -ar, -er, or -ir — and each family conjugates on a single predictable pattern. Start with -ar, the largest and most common group.

hablar (to speak) — the -ar pattern
hablo, hablas, habla, hablamos, habláis, hablan
मैं बोलता/बोलती हूँ, तुम बोलते/बोलती हो, वह बोलता/बोलती है, हम बोलते/बोलती हैं, तुम लोग बोलते/बोलती हो, वे बोलते/बोलती हैं
Drop the -ar and add -o, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an — six endings, one for each grammatical person, and that's it. Hindi verb endings work on a different axis entirely: बोलता/बोलती/बोलते change for the subject's gender and number, not person — so a Hindi speaker already conjugates by watching who's involved, just along a different dimension (gender vs. person) than Spanish does.
Same ending pattern, any -ar verb
trabajar → trabajo, trabajas, trabaja... / estudiar → estudio, estudias, estudia...
अलग-अलग -ar क्रियाओं के लिए भी एक जैसा अंत
Because the pattern is fully mechanical, you don't need to memorize each -ar verb's conjugation individually — just memorize the six endings once (-o, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an) and apply them to any new -ar verb's stem the moment you learn it, the same way you'd apply Hindi's -ता/-ती/-ते pattern to any new verb stem once you know the subject's gender and number.
