Some forms of the verb "write", which is used very often in speech, can cause difficulties in writing. For example, what is the correct way to “write” or “write”? To choose the right vowel in this and other forms of the word “write,” just remember one rule.
Spelling
The type of spelling that generates the question: "How to:" write " or" write "?" Is an unstressed vowel at the end of the present tense. In the second and third person of the singular and the first and second person of the plural, the choice arises between the letters "and" and "e", in the third person of the plural - between "u" and "a" or "u" and "i".
The rule
The end of the present or future tense verb and the suffix of the participle formed from it depends on conjugation. In the verbs of the first conjugation is written "e" or "y", "u", in the verbs of the second conjugation - "and" or "a", "I".
So, to understand how to correctly - "write" or "write", you need to determine the conjugation of the verb "write".
Conjugation Definition
The following rule will help you easily determine the conjugation of the verb "write" and any other.
The second conjugation includes all verbs ending in “-it”, except for “lay”, “shave”, and 11 verbs in “-et” and “-at”: “endure”, “twirl”, “offend”, “ depend "," hate "," see "," watch "," hear "," breathe "," hold "," drive ".
All other verbs belong to the first conjugation.
If there are difficulties with determining the last vowel of the infinitive, then the correct spelling of the verb in the initial form is better to find out using the spelling dictionary and remember.
Examples of conjugation definitions:
- "Glue." It ends in “-it”, which means it is a verb of the second conjugation: “glues”, “glues”.
- "To lay." It ends in "it", but is one of two exceptions, which means it refers to the first conjugation: "stelete", "stelate".
- "Breathe". It ends in "-at" and is included in the list of exceptions, which means it is a verb of the second conjugation: "breathe", "breathe".
- "Stab." It ends in "-ot", which means it refers to the first conjugation: pricks, pricks.
"Write" does not end with "-it" and is not included in the list of eleven exceptions. So the verb refers to the first conjugation.
Therefore, the answer to the question is received: "How to" write "or" write "?". “Write” is the correct form of this verb.
This also applies to other forms of the verb. That is, it became clear how to correctly: "write" or "write." Of course, through the "e". Plural third-person form: "write." The sacrament is also written through "u": "writer."
Imperative mood
It is important not to confuse the present tense of the verb with the imperative. If the word "write" does not convey the fact of action in the present tense, but the impulse to it, then the second "and" is the suffix of the imperative mood.
This case usually does not cause difficulties, since the vowel "and" is stressed. Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that the imperative mood of the verb is formed using the suffix "-and" regardless of conjugation.
An example of the use of the verb "write" in the present tense:
Now you are writing a dictation to test your knowledge.
Thank you for writing to me every day.
An example of using the verb "write" in the imperative mood:
Do not forget me and write more often!
To develop creative abilities, write about everything you see.

Comment
All of the above is true for verbs of the future tense, formed from "write" by adding a prefix: "write", "write", "write".
Additional difficulties arise with the verb "write out" in the second person plural, since he has a future tense and a form of imperative mood by ear (the suffix "and" in the imperative mood is unstressed).
As a rule, it is not difficult to distinguish the form according to the context: "write out, please, unfamiliar words," but "when you write, try to remember them."
In the first case, "and" is chosen as the suffix of the imperative mood, in the second - "e" as the vowel of the end of the future tense verb.
