Lesson Four.
Present Tense of Sindarin Verbs.
For the present tense, grab the stem of the verb (ie, the bit ending in -) hold it tightly, so it can't wriggle free (tricksy verbs!) and then put a tail on it. Or, if you want to be boring, first person singular, third person plural etc have different endings, so that the form of the verb shows who or what is doing the action. The endings are as follows:

Lesson One.
Sindarin.
Sindarin was inspired by Welsh. It is an inflected language, meaning that verbs take different forms according to who is doing the action. It also has consonant mutation, which means that the first letter(s) of a word sometimes change. When you learn where and how they change, you will find that far easier than it sounds.
