  2. Verbs and Conjugation • As you learned in school, a Verb is an action word: to jump, to sing, to play. • In English and in other languages, verbs conjugate. • You have been conjugating verbs your whole life!

  3. Verbs and Conjugation • Conjugate the Verb to play in English: • I play. • You play. • He / She plays. • We play. • You guys play. • They play. • In English, verbs do not change much when they conjugate in the present tense.

  4. Verbs and Conjugation • Unlike English, in PD a verb changes quite a bit. • All verbs in PD end in –E (saage – to say) • There are TWO rules for conjugating Verbs in PD. • 1. Drop the –E off of the end of the verb. • 2. Add the correct ENDING!

  5. Verb Endings

  6. Conjugate a Verb • Conjugate the verb saage for each situation: • Ichsaageppes. • Du saagschteppes. • Ersaagteppes. • Mir saageeppes. • Dihrsaagteppes. • Siesaageeppes.

  7. 1st exception to the Rule • Verbs who have a stem ending in s,ss,sch: drop these letters before the ending –schtis added. • esse (to eat) – Du escht.

  8. 2nd exception to the Rule • Verbs whose stem ends in a w, change this letter to b, throughout the singular and in the dihr forms: • liewe (to love) • Ichlieb. Du liebscht. Erliebt. • Mir liewe. Dihrliebt. Sieliewe.

  10. Verb Conjugation • Don’t be scared by the exceptions! They don’t happen very often. • Learn the rules and memorize the endings! • It is important to conjugate verbs properly. It is the difference between saying: • I goes to the store. He go to the store.
