Off the top of my head, I can think of a few Latin verbs with obvious Greek cognates: pherō~ferō "to bear", pheugō~fugiō "to flee".
But all the words I can think of are in the third conjugation. Are there any first-, second-, and fourth-conjugation verbs with straightforward Greek relatives?
Sure, lots, though some are less obvious because of sound changes etc. Examples:
1st conjugation: dō : δίδωμι, stō : ἵστημι, vocō : εἶπον
2nd conjugation: videō : εἶδον, οἶδα, moneō : μιμνήσκω, maneō : μένω, pleō : πίμπλημι
4th conjugation: veniō : βαίνω, saliō : ἅλλομαι, potior : δεσ-πότης
