  18. Just in case you noticed a few odd things going on….. • If the stem of a verb ends in ‘z’’,e.g. ‘tanz..’, ‘du’ just has a ‘t’ verb ending – du tanzt • If the stem of a verb ends in ‘t’, e.g. ‘reit..’, add an extra ‘e’ to ‘du’,’er/sie/es’ and ‘ihr’, e.g. du reitest • If the stem of a verb ends in ‘l’, the ‘Ich’ form loses the ‘e’ before the ‘l’, e.g. Ich sammle and the ‘wir’ and ‘sie’ forms only have an ‘n’ ending, e.g. wir sammeln
