Verbs - Lithuanian Grammar

Practicing verbs is an integral part of mastering Lithuanian grammar. Through verb exercises, students learn to handle numerous forms and tenses that Lithuanian verbs encompass. First, exercises focus on the conjugation of verbs. Here, they familiarize themselves with the three verb types in Lithuanian – the first conjugation (verbs ending with -ti like “kalbėti” which means “to speak”), the second conjugation (-inti, like “mokinti, which means “to teach”), and the third conjugation (-yti, like “mokyti” which means “to educate”).

Next, the verb tense exercises help students understand the temporal structures; like present, past, future, and iterative forms. They also navigate through subtler aspects such as aspect, voice, mood, and negation. Exercises on reflexive and modal verbs are also essential, each requiring a distinctive approach.

Finally, the practical application of these verbs is also explored, through sentence formation exercise where students use verbs in context.

These varied exercises offer a comprehensive grasp of Lithuania’s verb system and their resolutions, leading to better fluency and understanding.
