I can use the simple past and perfect tenses and 'seit' and 'vor' to understand the historical context and recent changes relating to international human rights.
Show transcript
The perfect tense uses the present tense of 'sein' or 'haben' plus a past participle, and is used in speech and writing.
The single-verb simple past or imperfect tense in German is used most often to narrate past events in writing.
'Seit', with dative and present tense, expresses an unfinished action started in the past. It can mean ‘since’ or ‘for'.
'Vor' + length of time is used with past tense to say how long ago something happened. Use the dative case.
These structures provide a framework for discussing the history and developments in international human rights.
