I can use present tense strong verbs to ask questions and use the informal imperative to give instructions or advice in the context of free-time activities.
Show transcript
Strong verbs in the present tense change the stem vowel in the 2nd and 3rd person singular: e - i, e - ie, or a - ä.
Use 'du' questions for informal singular ‘you’, and 'ihr' questions for informal plural ‘you’.
Strong verbs retain the present tense stem vowel change in the 'du' form of the imperative but they omit the umlaut.
To use the 'ihr' form of the imperative of weak and strong verbs, just remove the pronoun 'ihr'.
'Sein' is irregular in the 'du' form of the imperative. Use 'sei' for the 'du' form and 'seid' for the 'ihr' form.
