With paylaşmak, you can divide a burden, pass on information or express agreement. At B2, identify what is shared and who is involved before choosing the verb form in the table.
The idea
A specific thing shared is the direct object: masrafları paylaşmak. The person you share with takes ile: ekiple, sizinle. Compare kaygılarımı ekiple paylaşıyorum (I tell the team my concerns) with aynı görüşü paylaşıyoruz (we hold the same view). The stem paylaş- keeps its ş: paylaşıyorum, paylaştım. In paylaşacağım, it is the future ending’s k that becomes ğ.

Watch out
Do not transfer the recipient pattern of vermek to this verb: use seninle paylaşmak, not sana paylaşmak. Also, görüşünü paylaşıyorum can mean “I agree with your view”; sharing a view does not always mean posting it online.
