Conjugation of the regular verb

You will learn how to conjugate regular verbs in the present tense. Here you see some sentences
with conjugated verbs-- like "woon" in "ik woon in Groningen", "werk" in "ik werk hier", and "werkt"
in "zij werkt niet". A few more examples. [DUTCH SPOKEN]
Ik houd van sport.
Ze studeert daar.
Zij wonen in Denemarken.
You may already know some verbs, like these common ones.
"werken",
"wonen",
"studeren",
"spreken",
"lopen".
How should we conjugate these verbs to ensure subject verb agreement? We start with the infinitive
form, mostly ending on -en. Next, we remove this ending, leaving us with the stem of the verb.
Finally, we add the appropriate personal ending. Here, we see the verb "werken", and the stem is
"werk". For the first singular person pronoun, we just leave it that way. But for the second and the
third person, we add -t. So "ik werk", but "jij werkt", "u werkt", "hij / zij / het werkt". In a scheme,
first, the "ik", just the stem,
second, "jij en je", that's stem plus -t,
third, "hij", "zij, "het", also stem plus -t.
And now for the easy part, the plural forms. As you can see, we only use one form for all plural
subjects. This is the stem plus -en, which in fact is simply just the infinitive.
One final point about the verb. When the verb follows the pronoun "jij" or "je", the -t is eliminated.
So "jij werkt in Den Haag.", normal conjugation, but "Werk jij?" or Nu werk jij in Den Haag". Here
you see that the -t after the stem has disappeared. This is only the case after the pronoun "jij" or
"je".
