VERB
German verbs are words that describe a state of being or an action. In German verbs are categorized into three categories:
- Weak verbs:
do not change the stem vowel in the past tense and the past participle and they’re considered like regular verbs in English.
Examples in German:
to work(arbeiten)
to play(spielen)
- Strong verbs:
do change the stem vowel in both the past tense and the past participle.
Examples in German:
to speak(sprechen)
to drive, go(fahren)
- Mixed verbs:
contain parts of both weak and strong verbs. They’re used very often and therefore they should not be overlooked.
Examples in German:
to bring(bringen)
to send(senden)
