As we can see we need 2 things for the spoken past: a helper verband what I call the ge-form of the verb. Now you’re like „Gee what form??“ so let’s talk about this first and find out how it is built and also WHY it is built that way. The ge-form In official grammar-jargon the ge-form is called past party symbol. It is not entirely clear to me why it is called that but I have to say that it is a surprisingly modern sounding name in the otherwise so Latin-heavy linguistic terminology. Unfortunately, it sounds too much like past participleand this might be confusing so we will call it the ge-form. Ok seriously, the name past participle is actually one of the grammatical terms worth knowing and it is a really tremendously useful form. In German it is used for the spoken past.

• Ich habe ein paar Eier gekocht. • I have boiled some eggs. Now, before the 15th century, the spoken past didn’t exist. It was then, that people started “inventing” it for whatever reason. The past participle back then had no ge yet. The ge actually used to be a “normal” non-separable prefix just like veror ent. The meaning of the ge as a prefix was very broad and I can’t really wrap my mind around it but it did have of a notion of completion.

So, just as Germans started to use the previously unheard of spoken past they also started adding the ge to the past participle of basic verbs that didn’t maybe just to give them said notion of completion. Over time the ge-form developed as a rule and the original prefix-meaning of ge almost disappeared. It is still visible in words like gefrieren (to freeze) or gelingen (to turn out as a success). • Das Wasser gefriert. • The water is freezing. Keep this rhythm aspect in mind. We’ll get back to it laterrrrr.

Hallo, ich habe vorhin meine 'Fahren lernen Plus' DVD-Rom von Vogel installiert, zur Info: Ich habe vorher nicht auf die Verpackung der CD geschaut und einfach.

Alright so adding ge in front and t to the end is the default way to construct the ge-form of a verb and this rule applies for a large part of all German verbs but there are exceptions. The bad thing is that the irregular forms are the ones you will use most in daily conversation so to you as a beginner it will seem like EVERY verb has an irregular ge-form.

There are 2 main deviations of the rule. Some verbs end in – en instead of t. • essen (to eat) – ge + g + ess +en (the second g is ust a filler so as to not have double e) • lassen (to let, to leave) – ge + lass + en • geben (to give) – ge + geb + en.

So is there a system that helps with this? Well for a “systematic” approach if you want you can look into the whole over-hyped “weak verb – strong verb” nonsen uhm theory (which no German knows about). That won’t save you from having to learn for EACH verb whether it is weak or strong and which vowel-change happens (there are half a dozen tables for this). I think the benefit of those additional very abstract rules t be very marginal and I would recommend to just accept it as random and learn the ge-forms by constant repetition.

I mean they are ones you will see all the time in the beginning anyway. I will give you an exercise at the end of this post. There are 2 rules of thumb that I can give you however if there is a vowel change in English (see-saw-seen) there is a fair chance that it is irregular in German too. But regular English doesn’t imply regular German. And then, if there is a vowel change in German there is a good chance for it to end with -en. But not always. Bottom line of this most German verbs have a regular ge-form and they will look like this • verben – geverbt Many of the most important verb have irregular forms, stem change, -en-ending or both and you should just learn those without trying to make too much sense of it.

But learn them you should. Anyway if you can’t think of a ge-form or you have actually never seen it before then: Use the Rule!!! Waldorf Largo 1 5 1 Keygen Music here. • Ich habe gedenkt.
