तुम क्या सीखोगे

Exploring different verb groups (I-IV). Understanding conjugation patterns.

  • Verb Group I
    If a verb ends in -a, it's likely a Group I verb; just add -ar for the present!
  • Verb Group II
    Group II verbs are predictable weak verbs that add -er in the present and -te/-de in the past.
  • Verb Group III
    If the verb ends in a stressed vowel, just add -r for present and -dde for past.
  • Verb Group IV
    Forget endings—look inside the verb for a vowel shift and end with -it for the past participle.
