Modern Greek/Lesson 07.1

Lesson 7.1: Present Tense Irregular Verbs As with all languages there are some verbs which are irregular. This page will have a list of some of the common verbs which are irregular in the present tense. The first three examples look very close to regular verbs but with a few letters missing, I think this is where there used to be an additional γ in the verb which got lost, so some vowels had to go to make it still readable, but I'm still looking for a source for that. The final verb we will later see looks very familiar to a different class of regular verbs. τρώω - to eat Verb table - Sing. Plu. 1st τρώω τρώμε 2nd τρως τρώτε 3rd τρώει τρώνε Examples λέω - to say Verb table - Sing. Plu. 1st λέω λέμε 2nd λες λέτε 3rd λέει λένε Examples ακούω - to listen/hear Verb table - Sing.
