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
