The 'Yo' Form
'Escribo' is the action you are doing right now or regularly do. It always pairs with 'Yo' (I), though 'Yo' is often dropped since the verb ending already tells you who is doing the action.
Regular -ir Verb
The base verb 'escribir' is very regular. To form the 'Yo' present tense, you simply drop the '-ir' and add an '-o' to the root 'escrib-'.
Mixing up Tenses
Mistake: “Yo escribí ahora (I wrote now).”
Correction: Yo escribo ahora. Use 'escribo' for actions happening in the present, not 'escribí' (I wrote), which is for the past.
