Let’s start with the infinitive form of the verb, the one ending in -ARE (1stconjugation), -ERE (2ndconjugation) or -IRE (3rdconjugation). [ Are you a bit confused about what a conjugation is? Head here !] For example, in the present tense in Irish , you couldn't say éistim sé le ceol . The ending -im is used when talking about ourselves, and not other people - that's why you need to use the ending -eann in this case - éisteann sé le ceol ( he listens to music ). We’ll look at the conjugation of verb forms, as well as he/she and how other common sentence starters and completers will look in the present indicative. In the above example, éist is a 1st conjugation verb - so in the present tense, the endings are -im or -aim when talking about ourselves, and -eann or -ann when talking about others. The verb éist is also a slender verb, so in this case the ending must be éisteann sé le ceol . You will be tired out after you have been working all night.

Note that in Italian, unless you really want to stress that the action is happening right now, you can use present simple and not differentiate between a simple form “speaks” and a continuous form “is speaking”. The Romance languages are derived from Latin, and in particular western Vulgar Latin. As a result, their usages and forms are similar.
