To form the present tense, remove the ending -ön of the infinitive, and put the relevant pronoun in its place; if you want to emphasize the person involved, then place the pronoun also at the beginning as separate word; where a word is the recipient of an action (that is, the direct object) it has the ending -i. (Please note that the verb ‘to be’ does not have a direct object!)
