Notes on grammar
3rd conjugation
Did you notice how the usage of the verbs имам and нямам changed? It’s like with съм (“to be”): They needed to be conjugated according to who was the subject.
But where съм is an irregular verb, имам and нямам are regular. They are from the 3rd conjugation. That’s easy easy to recognize: verbs ending in -ам or -ям belong to that conjugation. And this conjugation follows a simple rule; it’s the same for all verbs belonging to it:
аз -(а/я)м
ти -(а/я)ш
той, тя, то -(а/я)
ние -(а/я)ме
вие -(а/я)те
те -(а/я)т
Example:
имам
имаш
има
имаме
имате
имат
