For instance, in the present tense, the first-person singular is "yo escribo" (I write), the second-person singular is "tú escribes" (you write), and the third-person singular is "él/ella/usted escribe" (he/she/you write).

The verb "escribir" can be used literally to describe the physical act of putting words on paper or a screen. It can also be used figuratively to mean composing, authoring, or even "writing off" something or someone, although this latter meaning is less common and often context-dependent.
