Trainer notes

This first version focuses on imperfective present tense.

Perfective verbs use similar-looking forms, but they usually have future meaning.

Some very common verbs have stem changes. They can be trained later as separate families.

Irregular essentials are included as a separate family because learners meet these verbs very early.

Perfective verbs in this trainer show non-past forms with future meaning, such as я скажу = I will say.
