Understanding the Present Tense in Čeština
The present tense in Čeština is used to talk about things that are happening right now or things that happen regularly. It's like when you say 'I eat' or 'She plays' in English.
How to Form the Present Tense
To form the present tense in Čeština, you need to know the infinitive form of the verb. The infinitive is like the base form of the verb, such as 'to eat' or 'to play' in English. In Čeština, infinitives often end in -at, -it, -et, or -ovat.
Important Points
  • Remove the infinitive ending
  • Add the correct ending for each person (I, you, he/she/it, we, you all, they)
Present Tense Endings
The endings you add depend on the type of verb and who is doing the action. Here are some common endings:
Important Points
  • -at verbs: -ám, -áš, -á, -áme, -áte, -ají
  • -it verbs: -ím, -íš, -í, -íme, -íte, -í
  • -et verbs: -u, -eš, -e, -eme, -ete, -ou
  • -ovat verbs: -uji, -uješ, -uje, -ujeme, -ujete, -ují
Examples
  • hledám (I am looking)
  • Ty píšeš (You are writing)
  • Oni čtou (They are reading)
Using the Present Tense
You use the present tense to describe actions happening now, like 'I am eating an apple,' or actions that happen regularly, like 'I go to school every day.'
Examples
  • On hraje fotbal (He plays football)
  • My vaříme večeři (We are cooking dinner)
  • Ona čte knihu (She reads a book)
Practice Makes Perfect
The best way to get good at using the present tense is to practice. Try making your own sentences about what you do every day or what you are doing right now.
Important Points
  • Think about your daily routine and describe it
  • Talk about what you and your friends are doing
  • Describe what's happening around you right now
