Type 4 and 5 verbs are simply special cases of Type 3 verbs where the suffix is stressed. For these verbs it is also usually impossible to guess the stem from the infinitive.

For example, the verb жить means "to live".

The unguessable stem of жить is жив-

However, unlike Type 3 verbs, the suffix of Type 4 verbs is always stressed, which causes the "е" in the suffix to change to a "ё".

Here is a summary of Type 4 verb suffixes organised by pronoun:

Pronoun	Type 4 Verb Suffix
I	-у
You (informal)	-ёшь
He / she / it	-ёт
We	-ём
You (formal or plural)	-ёте
They	-ут

_________________________________

Therefore we can conjugate жить in the follow manner:

Verb: To live

Infinitive: жить

Stem: жив-

Conjugation Type: 4

Russian	English
