Prezent pravilnih glagola: tri grupe -am, -im, -em
Pravilni srpski glagoli grade prezent po tri obrasca, a svaki nosi ime po nastavku za prvo lice jednine („ja"). Glagoli na -am, kao gledati, idu: gledam, gledaš, gleda, gledamo, gledate, gledaju. Glagoli na -im, kao raditi: radim, radiš, radi, radimo, radite, rade. Glagoli na -em, kao pisati: pišem, pišeš, piše, pišemo, pišete, pišu. Najlakše je da svaki novi glagol pamtite zajedno s njegovim oblikom za „ja", jer upravo on otkriva grupu. Pazite: infinitiv vara. „Pisati" se završava na -ati, pa mnogi pogrešno kažu „pisam" — a glagol je zapravo -em tipa, uz promenu osnove (pisa- → piš-), te glasi pišem. Razlikuje se i treće lice množine: gledaju, ali rade (ne „radiju") i pišu. Kao i obično u srpskom, zamenicu ispuštamo: „Gledam film.", a ne „Ja gledam film.". Primeri: „Gledam film.", „Radim kod kuće.", „Pišem pismo."
Primeri
- Gledam film. I am watching a film.
- Radim kod kuće. I work at home.
- Pišem pismo. I am writing a letter.

I watch, I work, I write — almost every regular Serbian verb follows one of just three present-tense patterns. The catch? You can't always guess which one from the infinitive.
-
Here's the idea. Regular verbs split into three groups, each named for its I ending: -am verbs, -im verbs, and -em verbs. Learn the I form and the rest of the group falls into place.
-
Three sample verbs show all three groups. Gledati, to watch, is -am. Raditi, to work, is -im. And pisati, to write, is -em. gledam, radim, pišem
-
Start with the -am group. Take the stem gleda- and add the endings. Hear how the a runs through every form: gledam, gledaš, gleda, gledamo, gledate, gledaju
-
Now the -im group, with raditi. The marker vowel switches to i. Watch the they form — it's rade, not radiju: radim, radiš, radi, radimo, radite, rade
-
And the -em group, with pisati. Here the stem changes from pisa- to piš-, and the marker vowel is e: pišem, pišeš, piše, pišemo, pišete, pišu
-
Let's put each group to work. An -am verb in a real sentence: I'm watching a film. The I form is gledam. Gledam film.
-
Now an -im verb: I work at home. The I form takes the i marker — radim. Radim kod kuće.
-
And an -em verb: I'm writing a letter. Remember the stem shifted — so it's not pisam, it's pišem. Pišem pismo.
-
Here's the trap. Pisati ends in -ati, so it looks like an -am verb — you'd expect pisam. But it isn't: it's an -em verb with a stem change, pišem. The infinitive isn't a reliable guide. pisati → pišem
-
So the safe move: learn each new verb with its I form. Gledam tells you -am, radim tells you -im, pišem tells you -em. From that one form, the whole present tense unfolds.
-
Lock in three things. Three present groups: -am, -im, -em. Each shares one set of endings across all six persons. And you can't trust the infinitive — so always learn the I form.
