Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can use modal verbs in the imperfect tense to talk about work and studying.

Show transcript
[o] and [ö] are long when followed by no consonants or only one consonant. To form the imperfect of singular modal verbs, remove -en and add -te for ‘ich’, -test for ‘du’, -te for ‘sie/er/es’. To form the imperfect of plural modal verbs, remove -en and add -ten for ‘wir’, -tet for ‘ihr’, -ten for ‘sie’. In sentences with modal verbs, the second verb is in the infinitive at the end of the sentence.
