German Verbs
German verbs are categorized into three categories
- weak verbs
- strong
- mixed verbs
Weak verbs (schwacheVerben) do not change the stem vowel in the past tense and the past participle and they’re considered like regular verbs in English.
eg : arbeiten (to work), spielen (to play).
Strong verbs (starke Verben) do change the stem vowel in both the past tense and the past participle.
eg : sprechen (to speak), fahren (to drive, go)
Mixed verbs contain parts of both weak and strong verbs. They’re used very often and therefore they should not be overlooked.
eg: bringen (to bring), senden (to send)
