The key rules of Ukrainian verb conjugation include the following:

  1. Ukrainian verbs are conjugated based on person (first, second, third) and number (singular, plural).
  2. Verbs have different endings for different tenses, such as present, past, and future.
  3. There are two main verb conjugation groups (classes) that differ in their endings.
  4. Ukrainian verbs also conjugate to reflect aspect, distinguishing between imperfective (ongoing or repeated action) and perfective (completed action).
  5. Some verbs are irregular and do not follow standard conjugation patterns.
  6. The verb conjugation involves changes in the stem depending on the tense and aspect.
  7. Ukrainian verbs agree with their subjects in gender and number in the past tense.
  8. Reflexive verbs have the pronoun -ся attached, which also conjugates with the verb.
  9. Auxiliary verbs are used to form compound tenses and moods.
  10. Conjugation is influenced by phonetic changes, declension rules, and sometimes vowel alternations in the stem.

These are the core grammatical principles guiding the conjugation of verbs in Ukrainian. 1, 11, 14
