I can understand a Grimms brothers' fairy tale and respond to it using perfect and present tenses.
Muuji qoraalka
Use the imperfect tense in German to narrate past events, mainly in writing.
Singular weak imperfect verbs add -te to the stem for ‘ich’ and ‘er, sie, es’ and an additional -st for the ‘du’ form.
Strong verbs have an irregular stem including a vowel change, and don’t add -te; ‘du’ forms add -st to the stem.
Oral retelling of fairy tales can be done in the perfect tense; simpler versions can be written in the present tense.
