I really don't want to discourage you too early in the game (so please don't be! ), but Russian verbs change (Grammatical conjugation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) depending on the sentence structure. (There are lots of other languages which do the same thing.) Unfortunately, the only good way to use the verbs correctly is to memorize all of those forms! The good part though, is that some verbs look similar to each other and so they change similarly. As to "спать" : спать - Wiktionary
