How to use the conjugation model
Compare the active column of αγαπάω (Conjugation II — Pattern A). The linked table shows that example verb.
Keep the stems and stress shown above for εξαρτώ. Use the example to compare person endings. A similar pattern does not mean that every alternative or expression in the example applies to this verb.
Use the active present εξαρτώ, εξαρτάς, εξαρτά when making one thing depend on another. The middle/passive εξαρτώμαι or εξαρτιέμαι means depend on. Keep these sentence patterns separate. For the active voice, compare αγαπάω with εξαρτούσα for an ongoing or repeated past action, εξάρτησα for a completed action and θα εξαρτήσω for a completed future action.
