Q

SAYING THAT YOU LIKE TO DO SOMETHING/NOT DO SOMETHING

A

To say that you like to do something, you add the adverb “gern” to the verb:

Ich lerne gern Deutsch.

To say that you do not like to do something, you can use “nicht gern”.
Ich arbeite nicht gern

ACHTUNG! The adverb “gern” is not a verb (i.e. you cannot say “Ich gern Deutsch”).

It always needs to be added to a verb to express that you “like to do” that activity.

53

Ich studiere Deutsch.

The verb lernen is used to refer to learning specific material (e.g. for a test). It is also used to say that you are learning a language.

Ich lerne Deutsch.
I am learning German

57
Q

PERSONAL PRONOUNS
Personal pronouns can replace persons or things.

A

ich = I

du = you (informal singular)
er = he, it
sie = she, it
es = it
wir = we
ihr = you (informal plural)
sie = they
Sie = you (formal sing./pl.)

58
Q

VERB CONJUGATION – THE PRESENT TENSE

Verbs are conjugated by adding personal endings to the stem of the infinitive.

The stem of the infinitive is obtained by removing the “en” or “n” from the infinitive. spielen … spiel

A
  1. ich = -e
  2. du = -st
  3. er/sie/es = -t
  4. wir = -en
  5. ihr = -t
  6. Sie/sie = -en
  • Infinitives that end
    in -n, only add -n in
    the “wir” and
    “Sie/sie” forms.

Verbs with a stem
ending in an “s”
sound (s, ß, z) only
add -t (instead of –
st) in the second
person singular (du).

Stems ending in -d
or -t add a linking
-e- in the second
person (du and ihr)
and the third person
singular (er, sie, es)
