For conversations with acquaintances and friends, you need to be able to use the informal plural pronoun ihr and conjugate verbs accordingly.

For ihr, there is no stem change. For the present tense, you simply remove the -en at the end of the infinitive and replace it with either -t or -et. Have a look:

Ihr gebt die geliehenen Bücher an Freunde weiter?

You pass the borrowed books on to your friends?

Frohes neues Jahr! Now that we're a week into 2025, there is one phrase related to the new year that we would like to review. This is sich etwas vornehmen, and it means "to undertake something," "to take something on," or "to resolve to do something." It is often used in relation with—you guessed it—New Year's resolutions!

The verb vornehmen without the reflexive sich has other meanings, so it's important to include it. You'll notice the phrase translated in even more ways to address the context of each sentence: 

... und in der wir uns auch vornehmen, andere Möglichkeiten auszuschöpfen.

... and in which we also intend to exhaust other options.

You can see that sich vornehmen is a separable verb. It's also a strong verb with a participle ending in -en.
