  1. I am quiet.
  2. You are quiet.
  3. He is quiet.
  4. She is quiet.
  5. We are quiet.
  6. They are quiet.

What are the 3 steps of conjugation?

  • separate the ar/er/ir ending from the verb infinitive leaving the verb stem.
  • make any necessary stem changes if the verb is stem changing or irregular.
  • add the appropriate verb ending to the stem according to the person of the subject of the verb. ( assuming present tense, indicative mood)
