posted 1 year ago

I’ve already explained in another post what regular and irregular verbs are.

Today, I would like to give you the rules for the conjugation of regular verbs in the present tense. It’s a basic rule that you can apply to any regular verb.

Endings added to the infinite stem:

- e (ich)

- st (du)

- t (er/sie/es; ihr)

- en (wir, sie, Sie)

According to the subject, the verb endings change.

Note: a few verbs like e.g. wandern add only -n instead of -en.Example: lachen (regular) = (to) laugh: lach-en ich lache, du lachst, er/sie/es lacht, wir lachen, ihr lacht, sie lachen
