German Regular Verb Conjugation (Present Tense)

das regelmäßige Verb
Before this lesson: make sure you've covered Verbs first.

Most German verbs are regular: the stem stays the same, only the ending changes to match the subject. Remove -en from the infinitive to find the stem, then add the right ending.

See it in action

mache

The stem "mach" never changes — only the ending does.

Personmachen (to do/make)
ichmache
dumachst
er/sie/esmacht
wirmachen
ihrmacht
sie/Siemachen
STEM STAYS. ENDING CHANGES. That's the entire rule for regular verbs — apply this same pattern to lernen, wohnen, spielen, arbeiten, kaufen, fragen, and sagen.
