Session 2Perfect Tense Starke oderirreguläreVerben Strong or irregular verbs
Like in English some verbs just don’t know how to behave! They have a strong will and do their own thing. That’s why they are called strong verbs!The Past Participles of a lot of those strong verbs end in –EN. Many also have a vowel change (e.g. ‘Ich trinke Ich habe getrunken’) and others are completely irregular! To make it a bit easier for you to learn the strong verbs, I have tried to put them into ‘logical groups’. Viel Glück!
Irregular verbs using ‘HABEN’ Sie hat ein Buch gelesen Wir haben Mittag gegessen Ich habe meine Freunde getroffen Wir haben einen Film gesehen Er hat Cola getrunken Ich habe Taschengeld bekommen
