Regular verbs in Macedonian grammar are the simplest type of verbs to conjugate. They follow one of two different conjugation patterns based on their endings: verbs that end in -am, and those that end in -em. Each form of the verb corresponds to a different person, number and tense. Learning to conjugate regular verbs is a crucial part of mastering Macedonian grammar as it is widely used in day-to-day communication.
