Gramatika at Pagsasanay (Grammar and Practice)

I. Conjugating Verbs (Subject focus)
Earlier, you studied how to conjugate verbs using formulas for various affixes.
For example, for verbs with the mag prefix:

Completed Incompleted Contemplative
first two syllables of
mag + first syllable of
nag + root word completed aspect + root word + root word
root word

For the um prefix:

Completed Incompleted Contemplative
first two syllables of
um (before the first completed aspect + first syllable of root
vowel) + root word word + root word
root word

For the na prefix:

Completed Incompleted Contemplative
first two syllables of
ma + first syllable of
na + root word completed aspect + root word + root word
root word

Using these formulas, list down the verbs you have learned and try to conjugate
them by yourself. Do this on a separate piece of paper. Then, check below to see
if you did the work correctly. By trying to do this on your own, you will
remember the verbs better.
