=== Introduction to Regular Verbs ===
Regular verbs in Danish follow a predictable pattern when conjugated, which makes them relatively easy to learn. Most verbs in Danish are regular, meaning they adhere to consistent rules. By mastering these rules, you can break down thousands of verbs into easily manageable forms.
There are three main tenses we will focus on:
* Present tense
* Past tense
* Future tense
Each of these tenses has its own rules for how regular verbs change. Don’t worry; we’ll go through them step by step!
=== Present Tense Conjugation ===
In Danish, regular verbs in the present tense typically end in '''-e'''. To conjugate a regular verb in the present tense, simply remove the '''-e''' and add the appropriate ending based on the subject pronoun. The endings are as follows:
* '''jeg''' (I) - verb + '''-r'''
* '''du''' (you singular) - verb + '''-r'''
* '''han/hun/den/det''' (he/she/it) - verb + '''-r'''
* '''vi''' (we) - verb + '''-r'''
* '''I''' (you plural) - verb + '''-r'''
* '''de''' (they) - verb + '''-r'''
Let's look at some examples:
{| class="wikitable"
! Danish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| at tale  || [æt ˈtæːlə] || to speak
|-
| jeg taler || [jɑj ˈtæːlɐ] || I speak
|-
| du taler  || [du ˈtæːlɐ] || you speak
|-
| han taler || [hæn ˈtæːlɐ] || he speaks
|-
| vi taler  || [vi ˈtæːlɐ] || we speak
|-
| de taler  || [di ˈtæːlɐ] || they speak
|}
=== Past Tense Conjugation ===
Now let's move on to the past tense. In Danish, regular verbs are typically made past tense by adding '''-ede''' or '''-te''' to the verb stem. The choice between these endings often depends on the verb’s ending in the infinitive form.
* If the verb stem ends in a vowel, you will often add '''-ede'''.
* If the verb stem ends in a consonant, you will typically add '''-te'''.
Here are some examples for clarity:
{| class="wikitable"
! Danish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| at tale  || [æt ˈtæːlə] || to speak
|-
| jeg talte || [jɑj ˈtæːldə] || I spoke
|-
| du talte  || [du ˈtæːldə] || you spoke
|-
| han talte || [hæn ˈtæːldə] || he spoke
|-
| vi talte  || [vi ˈtæːldə] || we spoke
|-
| de talte  || [di ˈtæːldə] || they spoke
|}
=== Future Tense Conjugation ===
Finally, the future tense is formed using the auxiliary verb '''"vil"''' (will) followed by the infinitive form of the verb. This means that no changes are made to the main verb itself.
Here’s how it looks:
{| class="wikitable"
! Danish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| at tale  || [æt ˈtæːlə] || to speak
|-
| jeg vil tale || [jɑj vil ˈtæːlə] || I will speak
|-
| du vil tale  || [du vil ˈtæːlə] || you will speak
|-
| han vil tale || [hæn vil ˈtæːlə] || he will speak
|-
| vi vil tale  || [vi vil ˈtæːlə] || we will speak
|-
| de vil tale  || [di vil ˈtæːlə] || they will speak
|}
=== Example Sentences ===
To help you understand how these verbs work in sentences, here are 20 examples illustrating regular verbs in various tenses.

Knowing how to use them properly is crucial to achieving fluency in Danish. This lesson is designed for complete beginners who wish to acquire a basic understanding of Danish grammar.</p>


<h2>Regular Verbs</h2>
|}
<p>Regular verbs in Danish follow a pattern when conjugated in different tenses. To conjugate a regular verb, we remove the infinitive suffix (either -e or -er) and add the appropriate conjugation ending.</p>

To solidify your understanding of regular verbs, let’s engage in some practice! Here are 10 exercises designed to challenge your new skills.
  <tr>
    <th>Danish</th>
    <th>Pronunciation</th>
    <th>English</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>at arbejde (to work)</td>
    <td>ɑːt ɑːbəjðə</td>
    <td>to work</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>jeg arbejder</td>
    <td>jɑj ɑːbəjðɐ</td>
    <td>I work</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>du arbejder</td>
    <td>duː ɑːbəjðɐ</td>
    <td>you work (singular)</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>han/hun/den/det arbejder</td>
    <td>hɑn/hun/dən/dət ɑːbəjðɐ</td>
    <td>he/she/it works</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>vi arbejder</td>
    <td>viː ɑːbəjðɐ</td>

  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>de arbejder</td>
    <td>deː ɑːbəjðɐ</td>
    <td>they work</td>
  </tr>
</table>


<p>For example:</p>
1. '''Conjugate the verb "at danse" (to dance) in the present tense for all subject pronouns.'''
<ul>
  <li>Jeg arbejder på kontoret. (I work in the office.)</li>
  <li>Du arbejder hårdt. (You work hard.)</li>
  <li>Hun arbejder som lærer. (She works as a teacher.)</li>
  <li>Vi arbejder tæt sammen. (We work closely together.)</li>
  <li>I arbejder i samme afdeling. (You work in the same department.)</li>
  <li>De arbejder på fabrikken. (They work in the factory.)</li>
</ul>


<h3>Past Tense</h3>
2. '''Change the following sentences from present to past tense:'''
<p>The past tense in Danish describes actions that have already happened. To conjugate a regular verb in the past tense, we add the following endings:</p>


<table class="wikitable">
* "Jeg arbejder." (I work.)
  <tr>
    <th>Danish</th>
    <th>Pronunciation</th>
    <th>English</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>at arbejde</td>
    <td>ɑːt ɑːbəjðə</td>

</ul>


<h3>Future Tense</h3>
4. '''Fill in the blanks with the correct past tense form of "at spille" (to play):'''
<p>The future tense in Danish describes actions that will happen in the future. To conjugate a regular verb in the future tense, we use the auxiliary verb <i>vil</i> (will) followed by the infinitive form of the verb:</p>


<table class="wikitable">
* "Vi _____ (spille)." (We played.)
  <tr>
    <th>Danish</th>
    <th>Pronunciation</th>

Let's dive into the world of Danish regular verbs!

Introduction to Regular Verbs[edit | edit source]

Regular verbs in Danish follow a predictable pattern when conjugated, which makes them relatively easy to learn. Most verbs in Danish are regular, meaning they adhere to consistent rules. By mastering these rules, you can break down thousands of verbs into easily manageable forms.

There are three main tenses we will focus on:

  • Present tense
  • Past tense
  • Future tense

Each of these tenses has its own rules for how regular verbs change. Don’t worry; we’ll go through them step by step!

Present Tense Conjugation[edit | edit source]

In Danish, regular verbs in the present tense typically end in -e. To conjugate a regular verb in the present tense, simply remove the -e and add the appropriate ending based on the subject pronoun. The endings are as follows:

  • jeg (I) - verb + -r
  • du (you singular) - verb + -r
  • han/hun/den/det (he/she/it) - verb + -r
  • vi (we) - verb + -r
  • I (you plural) - verb + -r
  • de (they) - verb + -r

Let's look at some examples:

Danish Pronunciation English
at tale [æt ˈtæːlə] to speak
jeg taler [jɑj ˈtæːlɐ] I speak
du taler [du ˈtæːlɐ] you speak
han taler [hæn ˈtæːlɐ] he speaks
vi taler [vi ˈtæːlɐ] we speak
de taler [di ˈtæːlɐ] they speak

Past Tense Conjugation[edit | edit source]

Now let's move on to the past tense. In Danish, regular verbs are typically made past tense by adding -ede or -te to the verb stem. The choice between these endings often depends on the verb’s ending in the infinitive form.

  • If the verb stem ends in a vowel, you will often add -ede.
  • If the verb stem ends in a consonant, you will typically add -te.

Here are some examples for clarity:

Danish Pronunciation English
at tale [æt ˈtæːlə] to speak
jeg talte [jɑj ˈtæːldə] I spoke
du talte [du ˈtæːldə] you spoke
han talte [hæn ˈtæːldə] he spoke
vi talte [vi ˈtæːldə] we spoke
de talte [di ˈtæːldə] they spoke

Future Tense Conjugation[edit | edit source]

Finally, the future tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "vil" (will) followed by the infinitive form of the verb. This means that no changes are made to the main verb itself.

Here’s how it looks:

Danish Pronunciation English
at tale [æt ˈtæːlə] to speak
jeg vil tale [jɑj vil ˈtæːlə] I will speak
du vil tale [du vil ˈtæːlə] you will speak
han vil tale [hæn vil ˈtæːlə] he will speak
vi vil tale [vi vil ˈtæːlə] we will speak
de vil tale [di vil ˈtæːlə] they will speak
