There are two kinds of irregular verbs in German grammar: strong verbs (starke Verben) and mixed verbs (gemischte Verben). Irregular verbs are verbs that change their verb stem in simlpe past and/or the participle form (see list of irregular verb). Regular Verbs also known as weak verbs (schwache Verben) form the past participle with ge…t and the verb stem. The past participle (Partizip II) is formed in the following ways: the following verbs: bleiben, geschehen, gelingen, misslingen, sein, werdenĮxample: Was ist mit Michael geschehen? What has happened to Michael?.verbs that express a change of state: aufwachen/erwachen, einschlafen, gefrieren, tauen, sterbn, zerfallenĮxample: Michaels Ordungsliebe ist erwacht.All his colleagues have come into his office. verbs of movement that don’t take an accusative object: gehen, laufen, fahren, fallen, fliegen, kommen, reisen, stolpern, stürzenĮxample: Alle Kollegen sind in sein Büro gekommen.We use sein to conjugate the present perfect with: aufräumen: to tidy upĮxample: Das Büro hat sich verändert. verbs without an accusative object that don’t express a change of state or placeĮxample: Er hat aufgeräumt.We use haben to conjugate the present perfect with:Įxample: Michael hat das Büro aufgeräumt. Luckily, there are a few rules for the usage of haben and sein in the German present perfect tense. Sometimes it can be difficult to know which verb to use. The verbs haben and sein are used as auxiliary or helping verbs in the present perfect.
