If you are looking in a dictionary the verbs will be presented in the I-form of the verb. This is the form that is used to reference the Greek verbs, like the infinitive form on English. Verbs can indicate a different point in time such as the past, the present and the future. Remember that personal pronouns like I, you , he, she etc. are not necessary in Greek because this can be seen from the ending of the verb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u0395\u03bd\u03b5\u03c3\u03c4\u03ce\u03c4\u03b1\u03c2 \/ Simple present<\/strong><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td
