In Danish, the verbs conjugate depending on the tense that you are using, not the pronoun.

The infinitive verbs always end in -e, and are always preceded by the phrase "at". For example: at gå, meaning to go or to walk.

To form the present tense, you have to add -r to the verb, and replace the "at" with the correct pronoun depending on your subject.

The Pronouns are:

Jeg- I

Du-You

Han-He

Hun-She

Vi-We

I- You (Plural)

De-They

Using the example of "at gå" (to go):

Jeg Går- I go

Du Går- You go

Han Går- He goes

Hun Går- She goes

Vi Går- We go

I Går- You (Plural) go

De Går- They go

This form is the same for phrases that end in an -ing

I am Going - Jeg Går
