A number of verbs in German end in -ELN in the infinitive.
They form their present tense very slightly differently - instead of taking off the -EN, we remove the -N, with the exception of the ich form, which also drops the "e".
The endings are the same as for weak verbs:
Here is the pattern:
| VERBS ENDING IN -ELN: |
| sammle - to collect ich sammle du sammelst er sammelt wir sammeln ihr sammelt sie sammeln |
