Ukrainian Tenses Made Easy: A Beginner's Guide: Quick charts for conjugating regular verbs
Here is a quick summary chart for conjugating regular English verbs in present, past, and future tenses:
| Pronoun | Present | Past | Future |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | base form | base + ed | will + base |
| You/We/They | base form | base + ed | will + base |
| He/She/It | base + s or es | base + ed | will + base |
- Add -s or -es in the present tense for he/she/it (e.g., “likes,” “passes”).
- For verbs ending in -y after a consonant, change -y to -i and add -es in the present (e.g., “studies”).
- Past tense of regular verbs is formed by adding -ed (e.g., “liked,” “passed”).
For German, regular verb conjugation in present tense works by removing the infinitive ending (-en, -eln, or -ern) from the verb stem and adding specific endings based on the pronoun:
| Pronoun | Ending for -en verbs | Ending for -eln verbs | Ending for -ern verbs |
|---|---|---|---|
| ich | -e | -le | -re |
| du | -st | -lst | -rst |
| er/sie/es | -t | -lt | -rt |
| wir | -en | -ln | -rn |
| ihr | -t | -lt | -rt |
| Sie/sie | -en | -ln | -rn |
Example with “arbeiten”, “handeln”, “ändern”: ich arbeite, du handelst, er ändert.
