léann / léim

Regular Present Tense

Level 2

The first conjugation has forms such as léann sé and léim. The first-person ending already supplies the person in a synthetic form.

How It Works

The first conjugation has forms such as léann sé and léim. The first-person ending already supplies the person in a synthetic form.

Léann is used with a separate subject such as sé or Nóra. Léim already includes the first-person singular subject. Learn the endings with the verb's spelling: first-conjugation verbs do not all have an identical written stem before every ending.
