Explanation
Regular -ir verbs share almost everything with -er verbs in the present. Only two forms differ: nosotros takes -imos (vivimos, not *vivemos) and vosotros takes -ís (vivís).
So the full set is -o, -es, -e, -imos, -ís, -en. If you already know -er verbs, you only memorize the nosotros and vosotros endings.
The vos form is stem + -ís with final stress (vos vivís, vos escribís) — identical in writing to the vosotros form, but used for one person.
Examples
Vivimos en Santa Cruz.
We live in Santa Cruz.
We live in Santa Cruz.
