Word Order
word order !
To form a successful sentence using the perfect tense, you will need a subject, object, the correct auxiliary verb (either haben or sein), and a past participle
OBJECT
SUBJECT
Er hat das Buch gelesen
PAST PARTICPILE
AUXILIARY VERB
MUST ALWAYS COME AT THE END OF THE SENTENCE
must always be the SECOND IDEA
auxiliary verbs
auxiliary verbs !
Auxiliary verbs are 'helping words', and they must always be the second idea in a sentence
haben or sein ?
Sein is used when the action is descibing movement from A to B or a change in state. It can also be used for being born and death.
Other than these , haben is used as an auxiliary verb
conjugations
sein
haben
+ ich bin + du bist + er/ sie/ es ist + wir sind + ihr seid + Sie/ sie sind
+ ich habe + du habst + er/ sie/ es hat + wir haben + ihr habt +Sie/ sie haben
Forming the past participle !
1) take your infinitive and remove 'en'
machen -> mach
2) add 'ge' to the beginning of the infinitive's stem
mach -> gemach
3) add 't' to the end of the infinitive's stem
gemach -> gemacht
irregulars
irregulars !
Often, instead of having 'ge...t' around a stem, irregular have 'ge...en'
infinitives that end in 'ieren' will not change
infinitives that begin with be-, ge-, emp-, ent- & ver- remain the same and do NOT add ge-
seperable verbs
what about seperable verbs?
when forming a past participle with a separable verb, we can't just put 'ge' in front
why?
-> because it doesn't sound right :]
instead, we 'sandwich' the 'ge' in between the two parts of the separable verb
fernsehen -> ferngesehen redfahren -> radgefahren
