Explanation:

1. In Latin, the verb form changes according to the subject. "Tū" (you) takes the second - person singular form. For the verb "pingō" (to paint), the second - person singular is "pingis". "Ego" (I) takes the first - person singular form "pingō".
2. For the verb "portō" (to carry), "tū" takes "portās" (second - person singular), and "ego" takes "portō" (first - person singular).
3. For the verb "habēō" (to have), "tū" takes "habēs" (second - person singular), and "ego" takes "habēō" (first - person singular).
4. For the verb "videō" (to see), "tū" takes "vidēs" (second - person singular), and "ego" takes "videō" (first - person singular).
