The Präsens is the verb form used for the present tense. Most verbs are conjugated in the present tense as follows:

Example: kommen

The only difference between the third-person plural and the formal address is that the formal Sie is written with a capital letter.

If the stem of a verb ends with -d or -t, the conjugation in second and third person singular and the second person plural takes an additional -e-.

For example: arbeiten (to work)

Some verbs have an irregular conjugation.

Example: sein
