Show transcript
Add -te to form ordinal numbers 1-19 and -ste for 20+. Exceptions are 'erste', 'dritte', 'siebte'.
Use 'am' with dates to say 'on the' and add -n to the ordinal number, e.g., 'am zehnten Juli'.
In word order three clauses, separable prefixes rejoin the verb.
Form past participles of separable verbs by adding the prefix before ge-, e.g., 'eingeladen', 'aufgemacht'.
Understanding separable prefixes and the base verb meanings allows you to predict most meanings of separable verbs.
