English is simple in that the verbs in it almost do not change when conjugated. But still, you need to know the rules, because many forget about one small, but important detail.

You will need

  • -pen-pencil

  • paper sheet / notebook

Instruction manual

one

Let’s take the verb “to play” - “play” for clarity. All verbs in the present tense with the pronouns "I (I), you (you, you, you), we (we), they (they)" stand in the infinitive (n.f) only without the particle to (something like the ending "t" in Russian), which denotes the initial form. That is, this verb will conjugate like this:

I play

you play

we play

they play.

2

With pronouns 3 persons numbers, that is, with "he (he), she (she), it (it)", the ending -s (-es) is added to the verb without a particle to. -Es will be used if the verb ends in s, ch, sh. Thus, the verb to play with these pronouns will look like this:

he plays

she plays

it plays.

Now conjugate other verbs. For example: to see, to drink, to think, to teach.
