  1. DEUTSCHE VERBEN I. REGULAR VERBS

  2. How to conjugate a regular verb • Start with the infinitive. For most German verbs, that is the form ending in –en. For example: kommen. In English, we would translate the infinitive as “to come”. • Take the –en off the verb to find the stem. So here, the stem is komm-. • Put the personal endings on the verb stem.

  3. Personal Endings for German Verbs

  4. Kommen – to come

  5. WOHNEN – TO LIVE (RESIDE)

  6. buchstabieren – to spell

  7. REGULAR VERBS with stems ending in –s, -ss, β, -z, -tz • First, remove the –en from the infinitive to find the stem. For example: heiβen  heiβ-. • Then, add the personal endings. These are all the same as before EXCEPT FOR THE DU- FORM, which only adds a –t, since there is some kind of –s sound there anyway. For example: it du heiβ-t, NOT du heiβ-st.

  8. heiβen – to be called
