Fed up with stuffing your brain with vocabulary lists, conjugation tables and noun genders? Your by-heart-learning struggle ends here thanks to these 7 techniques.
Sorry, I am neither a German teacher nor a native speaker, but
I see some mistakes in the table above. First of all, fehlen is a regular verb (er fehlt-felhte-hat
gefehlt), befehlen has other forms (er befiehlt-befahl-hat befohlen, not er
befehlt-befiehlt-hat befohlen).
Secondly, if we
try to apply the table to all the verbs as a rule, we cannot avoid mistakes
(ex. nehmen: er nimmt-nahm-hat genommen, not nehmt-niehm-hat genohmen,
bitten: er bittet-bat-hat gebeten, not geboten, heben: er hebt-hob-hat gehoben,
not hibt-hab-hat geheben, bringen: er bringt-brachte-hat gebracht, not brang-hat
gebrungen, denken: er denkt-dachte-hat gedacht, not dinkt-dank-gedenken)... See also the conjugation of the verbs backen, bergen,
bersten, bewegen, bitten, blasen, braten, brechen... and these are only the verbs beginning with B!
For some
cases there are no rules at all (ex. betrügen: er betrügt-betrog-hat
betrogen)...
There
are certain tendencies for the irregular verbs, but tendencies, not rules.
Excuse me please and correct me if I´m wrong. I write this only for the sake of other students.
Wow das könnte eigentlich sehr hilfreich sein! Vielen Dank!
