Spanish Verbs vs. French Verbs

English is even simpler. For regular verbs, there are only two forms in the present tense and one form in the past tense.

I love
we love
you love
he loves
she loves
it loves
they love

I loved
we loved
you loved
he loved
she loved
it loved
they loved

Afrikaans is even simpler:

Ek hou
Jy/u (formal) hou
Hy/Ze/Dit hou
Ons hou
Julle hou
Hulle hou

Ek het gehou
Jy/u (formal) het gehou
Hy/Ze/Dit het gehou
Ons het gehou
Julle het gehou
Hulle het gehou
