== Introduction ==
In this lesson, you will learn about the present tense in Ukrainian. The present tense is used to talk about actions or states that are happening now or are generally true. It is an essential part of forming sentences in Ukrainian, and understanding how to use it correctly will greatly improve your communication skills. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently form and use the present tense in sentences and conversations.
== Regular Verbs ==
Regular verbs in Ukrainian follow a predictable pattern when conjugated in the present tense. To form the present tense of regular verbs, you need to remove the infinitive ending and add the appropriate endings based on the subject pronoun. Let's take a look at the conjugation of regular verbs in the present tense:
{| class="wikitable"
! Ukrainian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Я говорю || Ya hovoryu || I speak
|-
| Ти говориш || Ty hovorysh || You speak
|-
| Він/Вона/Воно говорить || Vin/Vona/Vono hovoryt || He/She/It speaks
|-
| Ми говоримо || My hovorymo || We speak
|-
| Ви говорите || Vy hovoryte || You (plural) speak
|-
| Вони говорять || Vony hovoryat || They speak
|}
As you can see, the endings of the verbs change depending on the subject pronoun. It's important to note that the subject pronouns are often omitted in Ukrainian because the verb endings already indicate the subject. However, they can be used for emphasis or clarification.
Let's practice conjugating regular verbs in the present tense:
* Я пишу (Ya pyshu) - I write
* Ти читаєш (Ty chytayesh) - You read
* Він грає (Vin hraye) - He plays
* Ми співаємо (My spivayemo) - We sing
* Ви танцюєте (Vy tantsyuyete) - You (plural) dance
* Вони готують (Vony hotuyut) - They cook
Now, let's see how the present tense is used in sentences:
* Я вчу українську мову. (Ya vchu ukrayins'ku movu) - I am learning the Ukrainian language.
* Ти часто граєш у футбол. (Ty chasto hrayesh u futbol) - You often play football.
* Він завжди працює вдома. (Vin zavzhdy pratsyuye vdoma) - He always works from home.
* Ми живемо у Києві. (My zhyvemo u Kyievi) - We live in Kyiv.
* Ви любите подорожувати. (Vy lyubite podorozhuvaty) - You (plural) love to travel.
* Вони вивчають історію. (Vony vyvchayut istoriyu) - They study history.
== Irregular Verbs ==
While regular verbs have a predictable pattern in the present tense, there are some verbs that are irregular and do not follow the standard conjugation rules. These verbs have unique forms in the present tense, and you will need to memorize them individually. Here are some common irregular verbs in the present tense:
{| class="wikitable"
! Ukrainian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Я їм || Ya yim || I eat
|-
| Ти даєш || Ty dayesh || You give
|-
| Він/Вона/Воно йде || Vin/Vona/Vono yde || He/She/It goes
|-
| Ми бачимо || My bachymo || We see
|-
| Ви знаєте || Vy znayete || You (plural) know
|-
| Вони роблять || Vony roblat || They do/make
|}
Let's practice using irregular verbs in sentences:
* Я їм сніданок. (Ya yim snidanok) - I eat breakfast.
* Ти даєш подарунок. (Ty dayesh podarunok) - You give a gift.
* Він ходить до школи. (Vin khodyt do shkoly) - He goes to school.
* Ми бачимо красивий вид. (My bachymo krasivyy vyd) - We see a beautiful view.
* Ви знаєте відповідь. (Vy znayete vidpovid') - You (plural) know the answer.
* Вони роблять свою роботу. (Vony roblat svoyu robotu) - They do their job.
Remember to pay attention to the unique forms of irregular verbs and practice using them in different contexts.
== Negation in the Present Tense ==
To form a negative sentence in the present tense, you need to use the word "не" (ne) before the verb. Let's see how negation works in the present tense:
* Я не читаю книгу. (Ya ne chytayu knyhu) - I am not reading a book.
* Ти не розумієш мене. (Ty ne rozumiyesh mene) - You don't understand me.
* Він не працює сьогодні. (Vin ne pratsyuye s'ohodni) - He is not working today.
* Ми не говоримо по-англійськи. (My ne hovorymo po-anhliys'ky) - We don't speak English.
* Ви не вчитеся добре. (Vy ne vchytesya dobre) - You (plural) don't study well.
* Вони не хочуть йти туди. (Vony ne khochut' yty tudy) - They don't want to go there.
Negation is an important aspect of communication, and it allows you to express negation or denial in your sentences.
== Questions in the Present Tense ==
To form a question in the present tense, you need to use the appropriate question word at the beginning of the sentence or use a question mark at the end. Let's see how questions are formed in the present tense:
* Чи ти говориш українською? (Chy ty hovorysh ukrayins'koyu) - Do you speak Ukrainian?
* Як він звати? (Yak vin zvaty) - What is his name?
* Коли ми зустрічаємось? (Koly my zustrichayemos') - When do we meet?
* Де ви живете? (De vy zhyvete) - Where do you live?
* Чому вони сміються? (Chomu vony smiyut'sya) - Why are they laughing?
* Що ти робиш? (Shcho ty robysh) - What are you doing?
Using questions is a great way to gather information or initiate a conversation in Ukrainian.
== Practice Exercise ==
Now, let's practice what you have learned in this lesson. Complete the following sentences using the appropriate form of the verb in the present tense:
1. Я __________ університет. (Ya vchyt'sya univerystet)
2. Ти __________ футбол? (Ty hrayesh futbol)

4. Ми __________ в парку. (My prokhodymo v parku)
5. Ви __________ до музею? (Vy ydete do muzeiu)
6. Вони __________ каву. (Vony pyyut kavu)
1. Я вчуся в університеті. (Ya vchut'sya v universiteti)

3. Він читає книгу. (Vin chytaye knyhu)
4. Ми проходимо в парку. (My prokhodymo v parku)
5. Ви йдете до музею? (Vy ydete do muzeiu)
