I know how to form and use the perfect tense in German, including the 'ihr' form, to discuss past events with other people.
Show transcript
Form the perfect tense with the present tense of 'haben' or 'sein', plus a past participle at the end of the statement.
Form most past participles by adding 'ge-' and '-t' around the verb stem. '-ieren' verbs do not add 'ge-'.
Verbs with prefixes 'be-', 'ver-', 'er-' don't add 'ge-' to form past participles. Their prefixes are never stressed.
The subject pronoun 'ihr' means 'you (familiar, plural)'.
Use the adverb 'früher' to translate 'used to' from English, e.g., 'Ich habe früher getanzt, aber jetzt nicht mehr.'.
