Regelmäßige / Schwache Verben (Regular / weak verbs)
The regular verbs in German always have the same verb ending. When we conjugate the regular verbs, we change only the verb ending '-en or '-n'.
How to conjugate the verbs?
Ex: kommen (to come)
Drop the verb ending ‘-en’ then add new ending to the verb stem.
