Show transcript
Strong past participles are formed by 'ge-' and '–en' surrounding the stem; the stem may have a vowel change, too. With certain verbs, often verbs of movement to a destination, the perfect tense is formed with ‘sein’, not 'haben'. With movement, prepositions 'in' and 'auf' mean 'into' and 'onto', and are followed by the accusative case. When starting sentences with time adverbs to sequence narration, we use word order 2 so that the verb remains second.
