This thread will be devoted to conjugating Danish verbs!
I have a list of the 250 most commonly used verbs in Danish that I took from the Danish Korpus. I'm going to go down the list in the same order as they are listed and their various forms.

Before I start with the first one, let me tell those of you that don't know this, that even though it takes practice, Danish verbs are easier than English verbs in that it doesn't matter if you are speaking first party or not, the verb conjugation will stay the same.

So in other words:

I am --- Jeg er
You are --- Du er
He is --- Han er
She is --- Hun er
They are --- De er
We are --- Vi er

The tense remains the same no matter who you are talking about.

I am --- Jeg er
I was --- Jeg var
I will be --- Jeg vil være
I have been --- Jeg har været
I had been --- Jeg havde været
I will have been --- Jeg vil have været
I would have been --- Jeg ville have været

--------------------

Always feel free to ask questions!

Next verb on the list is -have-.

Have --- Have

I have --- Jeg har
I had --- Jeg havde
I will have --- Jeg vil have
I have had --- Jeg har haft
I had had --- Jeg havde haft
I will have had --- Jeg vil har haft
I would have --- Jeg ville have
I would have had --- Jeg ville have haft

In Danish, you will use -har- whether you are speaking who you are speaking of.

Example:

I have --- Jeg har
She has --- Hun har
They have --- De har
Tommy has --- Tommy har

Just a note.. The first form of the verb I write is the form you may need to use to find it in the dictionary. It will be the infinitive form. Not all dictionaries will list the other forms... so you will need to know that often you don't need to bother to look up -har-... you will need to look up -have-.
