"Ele come uma maçã."

Translation: He eats an apple.

[CostonBurnes]

How would you say ate? Past tense come.

[PERCE_NEIGE]

It depends on wich pronoun! You can't translate it without the pronoun, the conjugations change for all the person, unlike English where several persons share the same conjugations.

Eu comi =I ate./ Você comeu =You ate. /Ele (Ela) comeu=He ate/ Nós comemos. = We ate / Vocês comeram =You ate. / Eles (Elas) comeram =They ate.

[Abril346419]

Just like spanish yo comi/ tu comiste/ ella comio/ el comio/ usted comio/ nos comimos / ellos ellas comieron

[Rodriados]

For other pronouns:

Eu comi
Tu comeste
Ele/ela/você comeu
Nós comemos
Vós comestes
Eles/elas/vocês comeram

Honestly...when I hear this language being spoken, none the less, try to pronounce it myself, I usually make a ton of mistakes. Though oddly I'm actually getting these right...very curious since the robot voice is horrendous.

ele come umA; uma is feminine to um. So isn't it "She eats an apple"?

[PERCE_NEIGE]

The subject and the complement of the action are not related. When you say: "The boy buy a female dog", there's no link between the gender of the boy and the gender of the dog. Uma is feminine because maçã is feminine. Ele is masculine because the person who eat is masculine, no links.

Could it be "He is eating an apple."?
