Regular IR verbs are fairly simple
to master. The regular IR verbs are done almost exactly
like the regular ER verbs - so if you've mastered those,
you shouldn't have any problem with these. Note the
differences are primarily in the "nosotros"
forms.
Find a verb, go to the tense
formation pages, pick up the endings, and use the word
in context as often as you can! It's called "practice!".
