Simple Past
= Präteritum = Simple Past
You have learned already a bunch of verbs in plain past: hatte, war, gab, konnte, musste, wollte, durfte and maybe some more. Now we will learn other verbs in plain past. For that we need (again) categories in order to make things a bit easier.
Weak verbs = Schwache Verben
Take a verb –> cut of the ending –> add the ending according to the personal pronoun: -te, -test, -te, -ten, -tet, -ten
kaufen –> kauf –> Er kaufte ein Geschenk. He bought a present.
Strong verbs = Starke Verben
They are a bit more complex, because their middle part change also.
gehen –> Er ging nach Hause. He went home.
More strong verbs here >>
Mixed verbs = Gemischte Verben
Those verbs have a change in the middle but also the ending like weak verbs.
wissen –> Er wusste nicht, wann das Meeting ist. He did not know, when the meeting is.
This was the end of our A2 grammar course!! Congrats!!
