Odjíždět Conjugation

odjíždět means "to leave" in Czech. Simplest present: já odjíždím, ty odjíždíš, on / ona / ono odjíždí, my odjíždíme, vy odjíždíte, oni odjíždějí. Below: all 3 tenses we teach, with examples.

Simplest present přítomný čas

Drop the infinitive ending and add the personal ending for each person. This form covers both habitual actions ('I do') and, for imperfective verbs like dělat, actions happening right now ('I am doing').

jáodjíždím
tyodjíždíš
on / ona / onoodjíždí
myodjíždíme
vyodjíždíte
oniodjíždějí

Simplest past minulý čas

Formed with the l-participle (agreeing with the subject's gender: -l for masculine, -la for feminine, -lo for neuter, -li/-ly for plural) plus the present tense of být as an auxiliary, except in the 3rd person where the auxiliary is dropped.

jáodjel/a jsem
tyodjel/a jsi
on / ona / onoodjel/a/o
myodjeli jsme
vyodjeli jste
oniodjeli

Simplest future budoucí čas

Imperfective verbs like dělat add the conjugated auxiliary budu/budeš/bude... before the infinitive. Many common verbs are perfective instead, and simply use their ordinary present-tense endings with future meaning (e.g. udělám, 'I will do/make', from the perfective udělat).

jáodjedu
tyodjedeš
on / ona / onoodjede
myodjedeme
vyodjedete
oniodjedou

Examples

Vlak odjíždí v osm.The train leaves at eight.
