सामान्य प्रश्न (4)

No, in the past tense, you only change the verb for gender, not for person.
You still add '-в', but sometimes an 'і' is inserted for pronunciation.
Ukrainian is a gendered language. The verb ending tells the listener who did the action.
You still use the -ла ending: 'Я працювала'.
