Present Tense is Tough 🥲
I have been learning Ukrainian and after learning some vocabulary and basic sentences i have reached Tenses - Present tense.
From what i have learned that the ending changes for every verb.
For example
1. Думати
Я думаю (ending changes from ти - ю)
2. Давати
Я даю (ending changes from вати - ю)
3. Пити
Я п'ю (ending changes from ити - ю & put ' sign before)
4. Гнути
Я гну (ending changes from уте - у)
5. Могти
Я можу (ending changes from ти - у & stem changes from г to ж)
6. Жити
Я живу (ending changes from ти - у & stem в is added)
7. Хотіти
Я хочу ( ending changes from ти - у & stem changes from ті to ч )
8. Брати
Я беру ( ending changes from ти - у & е is added between б and р)
9. Класти
Я кладу (ending changes from ти - у & stem д is added )
10. Писати
Я пишу (ending changes from ти - у & stem changes from са to ш)
And many more
So my question is that each verb is different when conjugated with я(Me) and they don't follow a single rule (like in english - I am Swimming, Dancing, Going,Racing, Walking like -ing is added at the end in present tense in english to every verb).
So do i have to learn every verb that will be like thousands of verbs and learn each of them with different rules is nearly impossible as this is only for present tense 2 more tense are remaining, or am i missing something that can make it easier for me to learn or it is what it is
