HCOOH and HCOO-, and HCO3- and H2CO3(which disassociates into H2O and Co2)
 methanoic acid is the acid, whose conjugate base is HCOO- ion.
HCO3- is the base whose conjugate acid is H2CO3
The acid is losing its proton to form its conjugate base, and the base is gaining the proton to form its conjugate acid.

you can determine that HCO3- is a base because it has a negative charge

(remember Lewis Bases donate electrons)

this makes HCOOH your acid

HCOO- is your conjugate base because it was formed from your acid
and H2O is your conjugate acid
(remember water can act as an acid or a base depending on the reaction)
