German Conjugations
German Verb Conjugations
As you already know, conjugations are the changes a verb goes through depending on who is doing the action. Fortunately, conjugations follow some simple rules. All you have to do is change the ending of the verb according to the appropriate rule. There are also some exceptions; it wouldn’t be German if there weren’t any. You have learned how to conjugate “sprechen”to speak before. “Sprechen” is an irregular verb, which means the forms are different to the regular ones. Let’s have a look at the regular conjugations right now. |

Let’s start with the present tense and see how the verb endings change.
Most verbs end in either –en or –n . Each type of verb (- en or – n) has a different set of endings.
