They remember
We've now seen a couple of verbs where the 'I form' ends with 'am' - mam, szukam, pamiętam. There will be many more. With these verbs we only need to know the 'I form' to think out all the other forms
Do you remember I remember form the last lesson?
- I remember -
To get the 'he/she/it' form we drop the 'm' from the end. So how do you say:
- He remembers -
- She remembers this hotel -
- Does she remember my brother? -
Now we have the 'he/she/it' form we are well practiced in getting the other forms. Add 'sz' for the you (informal) form:
- Do you remember? -
- Do you remember the question? -
- Do you remember where? -
And of course we add 'my' for the we form:
- We remember -
- We remember your son -
- We don't remember -
The they form of a verb
For the 'they form' we add add 'ją' to the 'he/she/it' form. So how would you say
- They remember -
- They don't remember -
- They have a new car -
- They have a old house -
- They have a good restaurant -
- They are looking for a hotel -
This 'ą' ending is almost always how the 'they form' of verbs end.
