Btredinnick: A summary of how to form the present tense in Danish

In Danish, the verbs conjugate depending on the tense that you are using, not the pronoun.

The infinitive verbs always end in -e, and are always preceded by the phrase "at". For example: at gå, meaning to go or to walk.

To form the present tense, you have to add -r to the verb, and replace the "at" with the correct pronoun depending on your subject.

The Pronouns are:

Jeg- I

Du-You

Han-He

Hun-She

Vi-We

I- You (Plural)

De-They

Using the example of at gå:

Jeg Går- I go

Du Går- You go

Han Går- He goes

Hun Går- She goes

Vi Går- We go

I Går- You (Plural) go

De Går- They go

This form is the same for phrases that end in an -ing

I am Going- Jeg Går
