[1] All the first conjugation present tense verb endings are in there:
- Ego dō
- ambulō
- Tū dās
- Lȳdia habitat
- Lȳdia vōs amat
- in scaphā nāvigāmus
- Vōs amātis
- nōs undae caeruleae dēlectant
[2] Another point is shown here:
Latin verbs most often don’t appear with pronouns because the ending of the verb tells you who is performing the action:
ambulō │I walk / am walking
navigāmus │we sail / are sailing
However, when a writer wants to emphasise, and, in particular, contrast between two people, the pronouns are often used:
Tū … linguae Francogallicae… operam dās; sed ego linguīs antīquīs Rōmae et Graeciae operam dō.
You pay attention to [focus on] the French language, but I pay attention to the ancient languages of Rome and Greece.
Ego in Ītaliā nātus sum sed tū ex Hispāniā oriundus es. │I was born in Italy, but you are originally from Spain.
