Today we'll learn a second group of verb conjugation - those to which we add -e ( for I) and -sz (for you) ( e.g. lubić > ja lubię, ty lubisz)
It's been some time since we have covered the verb conjugation, so let's start with some small revision of -m -sz verbs.
The verb which has the new type of conjugation is mówić = to speak.
Look how the ' mówić' verb is conjugated. Can you guess which kind of endings should be added to the other verbs in the table ? Try to complete it and create a rule.
mówić - to speak
lubić - to like
robić - to do, to make
dzwonić - to call

Note: If you compare the first -m - sz conjugation and this second one -ę - sz, there is no much difference: only in the I and they person. See the table below
Exercise: Put the verb in brackets in the correct forms.
- My ................. ( LUBIĆ) hip-hop.
- Ja ......................( MÓWIĆ) po angielsku.
- Wy ................. ( ROBIĆ ) ciasto.
- On ................... (DZWONIĆ) teraz.
- Ona..................... ( ROBIĆ) zdjęcie.
- Ty..................... ( MÓWIĆ) szybko.
- Oni ......................( LUBIĆ) snowboard.
- On........................(MÓWIĆ) powoli.
- Ja ..................... (DZWONIĆ ) do mamy.
Exercise:
Adverbs of frequency:
ZAWSZE - (100%) always
CZĘSTO - ( 80%) often
CZASAMI - (40%) sometimes
RZADKO - (10%) rarely
NIGDY - (0%) never ( if you want to use it in a sentence, put NIGDY NIE before the verb)
zagranicę - abroad
Exercise: Answer these questions about you:
- Czy lubisz sport ?
- Czy często robisz obiad ?
- Czy mówisz po angielsku ?
- Czy lubisz sushi ?
- Czy mówisz po francusku ?
- Czy mówisz po niemiecku ?
- Czy często dzwonisz do znajomych?
- Czy lubisz język polski ?
- Czy często robisz zdjęcia ?
- Czy często dzwonisz zagranicę ?
- Czy często robisz ciasto ?
- Czy często dzwonisz przez Skype ?
- Czy często mówisz po polsku?
You may notice that even though some other verbs are under the -ę -sz rule, some letters may disappear or change during the conjugation. The thing is that some letters just don't like standing next to each other, the pronunciation seems difficult to the Polish, so they decided to omit certain letters. It may also for historical reasons of the word evolution.
You will learn them on our next lesson.
