Читаю is present tense (буду читать is future tense), прочитаю is future tense (has no present). Conjugation is the change in persons. Conjugation has no effect on the tense. | |

According to Wikipedia, "Grammatical conjugation is subject to three persons in two numbers and two simple tenses (present/future and past)" They combine present/future because they have the same form, but different interpretations. For instance, читаю and прочитаю have the same ending/conjugation, but one has a present interpretation and the other a future interpretation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_grammar#Verbs | |

| Apr 24, 2023 at 15:14 | comment | added | CocoPop | Isn't something like удивишь actually a 2nd person perfective in the PRESENT tense, which was a future interpretation? | |
