One of the most voluminous in terms of difficulty sections of the study of the Russian language is in front of you. Although, if you look from the very beginning, there is nothing incomprehensible here. Of course, you have to memorize something. For example, here it is: a grammatical category, determined by numbers and by persons, - this is what the conjugation of the verb.
If there is an accent in the ending
When determining the conjugation of a verb, first of all, see if the stress on the ending falls. If it falls, then everything is simple: conjugation can be easily determined by the vowel. The first conjugation has endings in -em and -et, -y or -y, -out or -yut and -yosh. And the verbs of the second have endings -ite, -it, -im, -you, -yat, -at.
If there is no accent in the ending
If in the end the verb does not have stress, then conjugation will show its indefinite form. The –– endings belong to the second conjugation. There are exceptions: to lay, shave, build up and swell. Also, the verbs of the second conjugation and with the ending on-and-on: see, offend, watch, hear, twirl, drive, hate, hold, depend, breathe, endure.
This list is perfectly remembered in a different, rhymed order. Or you can remember by the numbers: seven na, four na. Although it’s more efficient to study tables. One way or another, remembering what the conjugation of the verb, and everything on this list of exceptions, is absolutely necessary. The rest is simpler: verbs in which there is no stress in the ending are in the first conjugation. For example: read-read-read-read and so on. What conjugation? Right, first. And why? Because they looked at the second table with endings. Well done! Now learn the exceptions!
Verb conjugation table in indefinite form| Second conjugation | First conjugation |
| Verbs on -it, in addition to three exceptions | Verbs shave, build, lay |
| The seven verbs to eat: see, offend, hate, endure, depend, watch, twirl | Verbs on-net, in addition to seven exceptions |
| Four verbs na -at: drive, hear, hold, breathe | Verbs nat, in addition to four exceptions |
| Verbs -ot, -ut, -t and all the rest |

Verb uncontrollability
These verbs are found in Russian - both yours and ours. Some forms of them are suitable for the first conjugation, others - for the second. Try to figure out what conjugation of a verb is. There are still a few exceptions to remember: to run, to squeamish, to want and to honor. And the rest again as before.
A little more about the peculiarities of conjugation of verbs
Verbs of the past tense and indicative mood do without personal endings. Read-read. The same thing happens with the subjunctive verbs. I would read, I would read. Imperative - gives personal endings only to second-person verbs. Read it! Read it! There are also insufficient verbs in which the first person is not used in the singular: to strike, to hang, to convince, to win (the teddy bear, the hero of the old cartoon, whom the hooligans hung on the carnations, also looked for the form of the verb: I say, I hang here ... it was corrected: I don’t need to say I’m hanging, but Vishu ... however the most correct expression : I have to hang, although with normal verbs such a heap is useless: we will definitely say: they will fly, and they will not fly). Here, by the way, is another point: in complex verbs, only the verb is conjugated, and the main one, by sense, always remains in an indefinite form. Do you understand that such a conjugation of a verb is not difficult? Verbs generally conjugate in two tenses - in the present and in the future, they do not need any dark past. This rule is. The main thing here is to remember the exceptions!
