Don't you know how much trouble I already have with English as my first language?

If someone could explain the difference between infinitives and present tense (I think that's the word I'm looking for…?).
Can't I just say: "Yo bebe" instead of something like "Yo beber"? What's the difference? Also, can I use the infinitive for anyone (yo, tu, usted, ella, ellos, etc.)?

Ya sabes, podría seguir una conversación con todos vosotros, y no te darías cuenta que no sé español.

Can you maybe give a context in which you would use, "Yo beber"? I'm not sure how.that makes sense.. You would say "Yo quiero beber" to convey "I want to drink," but I don't know why you'd want to say "Yo beber," which seems to translate to "I to drink." I could be totally wrong, though, since I know Spanish grammar works differently than that of English sometimes.

Hang on. Might have just got it. So an infinitive always has a to in front of it?
Christian Alexander
Ohhhhh. Yes. Didn't realize you didn't know what an infinitive in English was. Yes, infinitives in English are verb phrases like "to play," "to eat," "to have," etc. I'm pretty sure they translate over into Spanish in almost the same way they work in English.

I have been trying to learn Spanish for a long time. I can read it pretty well, but I can hardly speak it. It'd be great to have someone to practice it with.
