Childhood experiences: imperfect plural forms of 'sein' and 'haben'

Some sound-symbol correspondences are written differently, but sound the same, e.g., [äu] and [eu]. Notice verb endings and use surrounding context to help identify the subject of a sentence using a form of 'you'. The 'wir', 'sie/Sie' imperfect tense forms of 'haben' are both 'hatten'. For 'sein' they are both 'waren'. The 'ihr' imperfect tense form of 'haben' is 'hattet'. For 'sein' it is 'wart'. The subject pronoun 'sie' can mean 'she, it' or 'they'. With a capital letter, 'Sie' is formal 'you'.
