Lesson outcome

I can use a range of present tense verbs, including those with small changes to the stem, to discuss sport and free-time pursuits.

Show transcript
Weak verbs follow a regular pattern of changes in the present tense. For verbs stems ending in 'd', ‘t', 'm' or 'n', add 'e' before the ending in the 'du', 'er/sie/es' and 'ihr' forms. For verb stems ending in 's', 'ß', 'x' or 'z', add just 't' instead of 'st' in the 'du' form. For stems ending in -el, remove the 'e' in the first person singular of the present tense.
