Czech conjugation

Czech conjugation is the system of conjugation (grammatically-determined modifications) of verbs in Czech.

Czech is a null-subject language, i.e. the subject (including personal pronouns) can be omitted if known from context. The person is expressed by the verb:

The infinitive is formed by the ending -t, formerly also -ti; on some words -ct (-ci):

Somewhat archaically:

Participles are used for forming the past tense, conditionals and the passive voice in Czech. They are related to the short forms of adjectives. Therefore unlike other verb forms, they also express gender which must correspond with the gender of the subject.

The past participle (also known as the "active participle" or "l-participle") is used for forming the past tense and the conditionals.

The passive participle is also called "n/t-participle" and is used for forming the passive voice. There are two types of endings:

The predicate must always be in accordance with the subject in the sentence – in number and person (personal pronouns), and with past and passive participles also in gender. This grammatical principle affects the orthography (see also Czech orthography) – it is especially important for the correct choice and writing of plural endings of participles.
