Show transcript
Past participles of weak verbs sandwich the stem between ge- and -t; verbs with inseparable prefixes don't add ge-.
Past participles of strong verbs sandwich the stem between ge- and -en; the stem vowel may change: 'singen', 'gesungen'.
The prefix 'mit' adds the meaning of 'taking part', or 'doing with' to verbs, e.g., 'mitmachen' - 'to join in'.
1st syllable stress is common in German; words with inseparable prefixes stress the 2nd syllable, -ieren verbs the -ie.
'Kein' (no, not any) negates nouns with indefinite articles, with 'ein' endings; 'nicht' (not) negates everything else.
