Perfekt This is a form of past tense in German. It is used during conversation. Sometimes, it is referred to as the conversational past. This form uses a helping verb. HABEN or SEIN Conjugate the helping verb for the subject. Rückblick Quiz weiter
Perfekt The ACTION verb will get kicked to the END of the sentence. The ACTION verb will also take on a past tense form called the past participle. In English, we typically add –ed. In German, we typically add a ge– prefix and a –t suffix. This is for WEAK verbs. weiterRückblick Quiz
Perfekt For STRONG verbs, some use the ge– prefix with the –en suffix. These verbs sometimes have a vowel change, too. Examples: Schießen geschossen Sehen gesehen Beginnen begonnen weiterRückblick Quiz
Perfekt Most verbs (weak and strong) use haben. SEIN is used to represent movement or change in state/condition. There are far fewer sein verbs than haben verbs, making it easier to memorize sein verbs. HABEN SEIN weiterRückblick Quiz
Perfekt Special Rules: 1.Verbs with separable prefixes: ge– goes between prefix and action verb. 2.Verbs taken from other languages (verbs ending in –ieren) have NO ge– prefix. 3.There will be exceptions always, these you will just have to remember like you do in English! weiterRückblick Quiz
