Ενεστώτας/Present tense

            First group: includes verbs in –ω (without accent mark).

            Verbs ending in –εύω.

            We read the epsilon-ipsilon combination with two different ways, like

            ef or ev. It depends on the following letter of the word. We read the –ευ

            like ev when the following letter of the word is β, γ, δ, ζ, λ, μ, ν, ρ or a

            vowel. As the endings of first group verbs begin with a vowel (-ω, -εις, -ει,

            -ουμε, -ετε, -ουν/-ουνε), we always read the –ευ like ev.
