How does the conjugation of the regular verbs in the present tense work?
The first person singular is formed by the stem of the infinitive – ‘en’.
The second person singular receives the suffix -t, added to the stem. However, if the personal pronoun comes after the conjugated verb, inversion occurs and this suffix is dropped.
Example: “Loop jij vandaag niet?” = “Are you not walking today?”
The third person singular receives the suffix -t, added to the stem.
For the plural forms,, -en or in some cases -n is added to the stem of the word. As a student of Dutch, this is where you’ll catch a break: these forms are all simply the same as the infinitive!
