It's grammar looks pretty familiar:
Verbs in the infinitive end in -i: iri=to go, vidi=to see.

The present tense is formed by replacing -i by -an: iran=go, vidan=see.

The past tense is formed with the ending -in: irin=went, vidin=saw.

The future tense is formed with the ending -on: iron=will go, vidon=will see.

The conditional uses the ending -uz:
If mi esuz yi.=If I were you.

The imperative ending is -ez: Sidez!=Sit down! Venez!=Come!

The active present participle uses the ending -anta:
fluganta birdos=flying birds,
leganta studento=a student who is reading.
