I'm a student of A1. My teacher is a native German. In his class he only speaks in German. This lesson comes in Kapital 9 in Kursbuch. I can not tell you how confused I was in that class as I did not understand a single thing. Now here I am and everything is as clear as water. I just dont know how to thank you guys. Lots of love.

Hilfsverb (konjugiert) position 2nd (hilfsverb can either be sein/haben) (Habe, sind)
(Ich esse einen salat / wir fahren nach paris =I am eation a salad / we are treaveling to paris )In present tense the verbs are generelly in the 2nd position
But in perfect these verbs move towards the end of the sentence and also use partizip 2 (at end) (esssen =gegessen, fahren =gefahren)



W -Frage (hilfsverb 2nd pos.) (partizip-2 in ending)


Was hast du gestern gemacht?= what did you do yesterday?


Ja-nein-frage (hilfsverb 1st pos.) (partizip-2 in ending )

Hast du gestern etwas gegessen ? =did you eat something yesterday?



Mit trennbare verben =with separable verb

Tanja ruft ihren freund an = Tanja is calling up her boyfriend. (present) (Verb in 2nd pos.) (prefix in ending )
Tanja hat ihren freund angerufen. = tanja called up her boyfriend (past) (hilfsverb 2nd pos.) (partizip-2 in ending )


Mit modal verben =with model verbs (modalverb 2nd pos. präteritum form) (verb im infinitiv in ending)

Ich bin krank . Ich muss zum arzt gehen. =I am sick . I must go to the doctor

If das Perfekt is present perfect, how come the question "Was hast du gestern gemacht?" is translated as "What did you do yesterday?"? Shouldn't it be "What have you done yesterday?"?
