The verb читать is of the first conjugation: я читаю, ты читаешь, он читает, мы читаем, вы читаете, они читают. The verb говорить is of the second conjugation: я говорю, ты говоришь, он говорит, мы говорим, вы говорите, они говорят. The forms in parentheses, first person singular and third person plural, are common alternate endings and occur when dictated by certain spelling conventions.
A verb typically consists of several components when fully conjugated, although there are variations; perfective verbs, for instance, have no present tense, and thus no present participles. Among the inventory of components are the infinitive, the present, future, and past tenses (the indicative mood), the imperative mood, the conditional mood, the present participles, the past participles, and the gerund, or adverbial participle.
