Script:
“Today, we are going to talk about regular verbs.
Regular verbs are my favorite kind of verb.
Why?
Because they follow predictable conjugation patterns.
[deliver above line using a spooky voice as if you are looking into a crystal ball]
To conjugate a regular verb: just take the verb stem and add the ending that matches the subject. That’s it!
Here, I’ll show you what I mean.
Let’s conjugate the present tense of a couple regular verbs.
First, we need to identify the verb stem. It’s easy!”
