Q

USE OF HABEN OR SEIN AS THE AUXILIARY VERB

Most verbs form the present perfect tense with haben but sein is used when the action verb either:

A
  1. expresses movement from one place to another
  2. expresses a change of state or condition
  3. is sein, bleiben, passieren or werden
59
Q

INSEPARABLE-PREFIX VERBS

One of the many wonderful things about the German language is that prefixes can be added to verbs to create verbs with new meanings.

With inseparable-prefix verbs, the prefix always stays attached to the base verb.

7

A
  1. be-
    Ich bestelle das Brathähnchen.
  2. er-
    Peter erzählt gern Geschichten.
  3. ent-
    Im Urlaub kann man immer viel entdecken.
  4. emp-
    Ich empfehle Ihnen dieses Hemd in Dunkelblau.

5.ge- Gefällt Ihnen das Hemd?

  1. ver-
    Verstehst du mich?
  2. zer-
    Der Klimawandel zerstört die Zukunft.

Q

FORMATION OF THE PAST PARTICIPLE

WEAK VERBS

A

ge- [verb stem] -t

brauchen => hören => kaufen => kochen => lernen => machen => sagen => spielen => suchen => tanzen => arbeiten => kosten => reden => regnen =>

gebraucht gehört gekauft gekocht gelernt gemacht gesagt gespielt gesucht getanzt gearbeitet gekostet geredet geregnet

Note: the stems of verbs ending in -t, -d or a conson- ant cluster (eg. -gn) add a linking ‘e’ (eg. gearbeitet).

61
Q

FORMATION OF THE PAST PARTICIPLE

STRONG VERBS

A

ge- [verb stem] -en

bleiben => essen => fahren => finden => geben => gehen => lesen => nehmen => schreiben => sehen => sein => sprechen => trinken => werden =>

geblieben gegessen gefahren gefunden gegeben gegangen gelesen genommen geschrieben gesehen gewesen gesprochen getrunken geworden

Most strong verbs change the verb stem. (Some strong verbs, such as gehen, don’t change in the present tense).

62
Q

FORMATION OF THE PAST PARTICIPLE

MIXED VERBS

A

ge- [verb stem] -t

bringen denken kennen wissen

=> gebracht => gedacht => gekannt => gewusst

These verbs mix the features of weak and strong verbs: they change the stem but add the weak ending -t.

63
Q

erbs ending in -ieren do not add the prefix ge- to the verb stem:

A

otografieren => fotografiert

reservieren => reserviert

passieren => passiert

telefonieren => telefoniert

64
Q

Separable-prefix verbs form the past participle by inserting the ge- prefix between the separable
prefix and the verb stem:

A

anrufen => angerufen

aufwachen => aufgewacht

einschlafen => eingeschlafen

aufhören => aufgehört

65
Q

THE PRESENT PERFECT TENSE

The Present Perfect Tense (das Perfekt) is most commonly used in conversation to refer to past events. It is a compound tense, consisting of the present tense conjugation of the auxiliary verb (Hilfsverb) haben or sein and the past participle (Partizip II) formed from the stem of the action verb. These two parts of the tense form a sentence bracket.

A

Wir haben gestern Fußball gespielt.
We played football yesterday.

Dann sind wir in die Kneipe gegangen.
Then we went to the pub.

65
Q

Separable-prefix verbs may be strong, weak or mixed. Their past participles follow the pattern of the base verb:

A

stehen => gestanden

aufstehen => aufgestanden

66
Q

Unlike with separable-prefix verbs, the prefix of inseparable-prefix verbs is not stressed. Compare: aufstehen – verstehen.
The past participles of all prefix verbs are formed just like the past participles of the verbs they are based on. Compare:

A

stehen
aufstehen
verstehen

er hat … gestanden

er ist … aufgestanden

er hat … verstanden

Note that while the past participle is formed the same way for the prefix verb as for the base verb, the auxiliary may be different.

67
Q

In the present perfect tense, though, they behave differently from verbs without prefixes: they don’t add ge-:

A

Wir haben schon bestellt.

Was hat er dir empfohlen?

Der Film hat mir nicht gefallen.

We already ordered.

What did he recommend to you?

I didn’t like the film.

68
Q

bestellen = weak verb empfehlen = strong verb gefallen = strong verb

A

bestellen = weak verb empfehlen = strong verb gefallen = strong verb
