You should be proud of yourself!
You've learned a lot in a very short time!
In the next few lessons, you will learn how to properly conjugate verbs (changing the verb endings). Please look at "Conjugation of Present Tense Verbs" charts. You will notice the different
endings for first, second or third person.
Except for the verbs ,"haben" (to have) and "sein" (to be), most German verbs are following the same, predictable pattern in the present tense.
Once you have learned the pattern it will be easy for you to conjugate other German verbs in the present tense.
For Example:
The ending of the verbs "spielen" (to play) and "wohnen" (to live) will change the same way for first, second or third person in singular or plural form.
