Verbs are a complicated topic, and I would like to create a "Verbs" section for this website in the not-too distant future. At the moment we're working on building out a large set of example sentences for the verbs in our dictionary, which will be really helpful for students, and for use in future Lessons made here for verbs.
I would say verbs are the #1 biggest stumbling block for new Tagalog language learners. You have to learn how the different "focuses" work, which have no equivalent in English. This also relates to whether you use "ka" or "mo" as the subject (short version: Actor focus = ka, Object focus = mo). There are also a number of different ways verbs are conjugated, depending on the verb type (mag- verbs, -um- verbs, ma- verbs, -in verbs, maka- verbs, and many others).
( By the way, this website FilipinoLessons.com has the ONLY online dictionary that explicitly specifies verb accent location, verb focus, and verb conjugation type for the verbs...which is a big reason I started this website - this info is critical to learning the language properly. We also currently have ~1,250 example sentences for reference, and that will be growing a lot shortly! )
Anyway...in the current state of things, it's best to get a book like this one:
www.amazon.com/Basic -Tagalog-Foreigners- Non-Tagalogs-Downloa dable-ebook/dp/...it has sections on verbs and will walk you through the first steps of conjugating and using those verbs. Most beginners start with Actor focused verb of Mag- and -Um- type. Once you get these, you'll move on to simple Object focused verbs, like -In- verbs, and after that the rest will be fairly easy to conjugate. The next big step is getting some experience on when to use which.
It can be complicated, but do one step at a time and it'll add up over time! And don't try to bite off more than you can chew at once (Ex: don't try to learn all focuses and conjugation types at once -- master them one at a time).
And, although it can seem a bit overwhelming, just by learning Actor focus verbs Mag- and -Um- can get you really far for communicating with Filipinos. It may not always be perfect grammar, but you'll be able to get your point across.
The "Flash Cards" section of this website also has flash cards under "Verb Conjugations" to practice conjugating those verb types. And the verbs listed in those Flash Cards were selected after I wrote a program to analyze ~ 24,000 pages of written Tagalog text to find the ones most commonly used. These verbs will give you the most bang for your buck in learning.
