The present tense in Danish verbs is expressed by adding an r to the end.

The basic form of a verb is the infinitive. In English these are words preceded by to, as to go and to be. The Danish translation of to in this case is at. Danish infinitives usually end in e, and you get the present tense by adding r.

Meaning	Infinitive	Present tense
to read	at læse	læser
to see	at se	ser
to eat	at spise	spiser
to hear	at høre	hører
to fly	at flyve	flyver
to like	at kunne lide	kan lide
