The full ending family
Read the complete singular/plural ending table and understand why stressed endings are written with ё.
Ё is always stressed. Type I normally uses the -е- family in -ешь, -ет, -ем, and -ете. When the ending itself carries stress, Russian pronounces and normally teaches those endings as -ёшь, -ёт, -ём, and -ёте.
- Читаешь has stress elsewhere in the word, so its ending is -ешь.
- Несёшь has stress on the ending, so its ending is written and pronounced -ёшь.
- Е and ё do not create two conjugation classes; they show where the stress falls.
- я often has -ю, sometimes -у.
- они often has -ют, sometimes -ут.
| Person | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | я: -ю / (-у) | мы: -ем / -ём |
| 2nd | ты: -ешь / -ёшь | вы: -ете / -ёте |
| 3rd | он/она/оно: -ет / -ёт | они: -ют / (-ут) |
