Questions & Answers about Он быстрый, и он всегда спешит.
Why is there no verb for "is" in "Он быстрый"?
In Russian, the present tense of the verb "to be" is skipped. Instead of saying "He is quick", you just say "He quick" (Он быстрый).
What is the dictionary form of спешит and how do we get this ending?
The dictionary form (infinitive) is спешить (to hurry). It belongs to the second conjugation because it ends in -ить. For the он (he) form in this group, you drop the -ить and add the ending -ит, making it спешит.
Why does the ending for спешит use the letter и instead of е?
Verbs in the first conjugation usually use е in their present tense endings (like знает for "he knows"). Because спешить is a second conjugation verb, its endings are built with the letter и instead.
