Let's tell what we did! We will use table below and our verbs that we learned in Lesson 1. We will add "-di" end of the verb. It is same with "-ed" suffix in English. Let's conjuge it:
Ben gel-di-m
I came
Sen gel-di-n
You came
O gel-di
He/She/It came
Biz gel-di-k
We came
Siz gel-di-niz
You came
Onlar gel-di-(ler) You may not use "ler". It makes word plural.
They came

Turkish people don't use pronouns in daily life. Because you can understand it by looking at additions. We use it only to point out that a person did it. Let's see other verbs without pronouns:
- İste(mek): (to) ask
İstedim
I asked
İstedin
You asked
İstedi
He/She/It asked
İstedik
We asked
İstediniz
You asked
İstedi(ler)
They asked
- İn(mek): (to) go down
İndim
I went down
İndin
You went down
İndi
He/She/It went down
İndik
We went down
İndiniz
You went down
İndi(ler)
They went down
As you see these are all same. In the next lesson we will see how these additions change in other words. But they will not be exceptions. So don't worry, they're rules. In Turkish there are always rules, so you don't have to memorize any exceptions!
