In Thai grammar, verb conjugation is quite beginner-friendly compared to other languages due to its unchanging verb forms. Unlike in many languages, you don’t need to modify the verb depending on the tense, mood, or the subject of the sentence. The verb form remains the same no matter the person, number, or gender of the subject. This doesn’t mean that tense is unimportant in Thai, but rather than changing the verb to express tense, it’s typically signified with separate words indicating time.
