Its forms and stress patterns are always derived from the 3rd person of the Past tense. {| class="wikitable" |- ! ! colspan=1| dìrbti – to work ! colspan=1| norė́ti – to want ! colspan=1| skaitýti – to read ! colspan=1| praũstis – to wash oneself ! colspan=1| bū́ti – to be |- |align="right"|I |dìrbau |norė́jau |skaičiaũ |prausiaũsi |buvaũ |- |align="right"|You (singular) |dìrbai |norė́jai |skaiteĩ |prauseĩsi |buvaĩ |- |align="right"|He/She/It |dìrbo |norė́jo |skaĩtė |praũsėsi |bùvo |- |align="right"|We |dìrbome |norė́jome |skaĩtėme |praũsėmės |bùvome |- |align="right"|You (plural) |dìrbote |norė́jote |skaĩtėte |praũsėtės |bùvote |- |align="right"|They |dìrbo |norė́jo |skaĩtė |praũsėsi |bùvo |} E.g. dirbau = 'I worked', norėjai = 'You wanted', skaitėme = 'We read' (past tense) In the -ė conjugation type, the last stem consonant becomes palatalized. If the stem ends with a consonant -t or -d, in the 1st person of singular it becomes -č or -dž respectively: kęsti to suffer → kentė he suffered → kenčiau I suffered; melsti to beg → meldė he begged → meldžiau I begged. The accentuation of all persons always corresponds to the accentuation of the 3rd person. The only exception is when its accented syllable is penultimate (excluding the reflexive formant -si) and has a short vowel (bùvo – he was) or a rising tone (skaĩtė – he read, praũsėsi – he washed himself): in that case the 1st and the 2nd persons of singular move the stress to the ending: buvaũ, buvaĩ; skaičiaũ, skaiteĩ; prausiaũsi, prauseĩsi. Past iterative tense The basic meaning of this tense translates as "used to" in English. Its construction is simple: Remove the infinitive ending -ti (the stress pattern is always the same as the infinitive). Add the suffix -dav- to the stem. Finally, add the corresponding ending of the past tense for the first conjugation. {| class="wikitable" |- ! ! colspan=1| dìrbti – to work ! colspan=1| norė́ti – to want ! colspan=1| skaitýti – to read ! colspan=1| praũstis – to wash oneself ! colspan=1| bū́ti – to be |- |align="right"|I |dìrbdavau |norė́davau |skaitýdavau |praũsdavausi |bū́davau |- |align="right"|You (singular) |dìrbdavai |norė́davai |skaitýdavai |praũsdavaisi |bū́davai |- |align="right"|He/She/It |dìrbdavo |norė́davo |skaitýdavo |praũsdavosi |bū́davo |- |align="right"|We |dìrbdavome |norė́davome |skaitýdavome |praũsdavomės |bū́davome |- |align="right"|You (plural) |dìrbdavote |norė́davote |skaitýdavote |praũsdavotės |bū́davote |- |align="right"|They |dìrbdavo |norė́davo |skaitýdavo |praũsdavosi |bū́davo |} E.g. dirbdavau = 'I used to work', norėdavai = 'You used to want', skaitydavome = 'We used to read' Future tense This tense basically describes what
