COMMON VERBS IN CEBUANO:

Conjugation of verbs in Cebuano are basically a matter of adding the right prefixes to the root.

Present Progressive = nag + root
Past = ni + root
Future = mo + root

Example: eat - kaon
present progressive: eating - nagkaon
past: ate - nikaon
future: will eat - mokaon

These rules can be applied to the following verbs:

buy - palit
cry - hilak
drink - inom
give - hatag
laugh - katawa
look - tan-aw
pay - bayad
play - duwà
read - basa
ride - sakay
run - dagan
smile - pahiyom
talk - sulti
think - hunàhunà
wait - huwat
walk - lakaw
write - suwat

Sample sentences:
I'm reading the newspaper now. - Nagbasa ko sa newspaper karon.
He ran at the marathon yesterday. - Nidagan siya sa marathon gahapon.
Will you wait for me? - Mohuwat ka nako?

Some verbs however do not follow these rules or simply are too awkward for this rule to be used on. In some cases certain words can only be used for very specific situations and are conjugated differently.
