The Past Tense in German

This video introduces the perfect tense in German as the main past tense. It explains the two elements required (helping verb and past participle), both in general and in detail, gives clues as to how to recognise regular (weak) and irregular (strong) verbs and gives examples of sentences with two different verbs. Apologies for my pronunciation of "participle"; I got into a bad habit early on in my language learning of emphasising the second rather than the first syllable.

Damm. I have never seen an explanation like that in any other site. This is one of the best examples I have seen it by far.

I cannot believe how helpful this video is! You’re really amazing at teaching, it’s very simple and easy to understand! Definitely deserves WAY more views.

Although simply echoing others comments, I am compelled to agree. This is some of the best lanuage explanation I have seen and I have quite a few miles on the clock. I am relearning english at the same time as learning german.

Simply "Amazing" videos!!
How I wish I had known about these videos before my exams today! You just simplify everything my German teacher couldnt really tell me and make life easy for me. I thought German Language is boaring to learn but you just changed my perception.

Thank you so very much!!

Amazing, thanks for clarifying this. Makes it easy for me to now know how to conjugate the tenses correctly

[Skorrigan]

Explaining the structure of the German Perfekt tense by comparing it to the Present Perfect tense is good. But it may backfire if you consider how the two tenses are used.

I was trying to brush up on my German (I had studied it in school a few years ago) and I always had trouble with the conjugation and word order. This is the best explanation I have ever seen for sure.
