Grammar Notes[]
Conjugating Verbs[]
Russian contains two different kinds of regular verbs: let's call them -е and -и. They share the same basic conjugation pattern, except one uses -е- and the other, predictably, -и-. Note that if the -е would be stressed in the conjugated verb, it is instead an -ё.
| Russian pronoun | Ending | Example: Читать |
|---|---|---|
| Я | -ю | читаю |
| Ты | -ешь/-ишь | читаешь |
| Он/она/оно | -ет/-ит | читает |
| Мы | -ем/-им | читаем |
| Вы | -ете/-ите | читаете |
| Они | -ют/-ят | читают |
Another note: Хотеть is an irregular verb, and it will have to be memorized.
