To Need Or Not To Need

To Need

Let’s have a closer look at the conjugation of a regular verb, now that you know the rules behind it. The stem of the verb “brauchen” is “brauch”. The appropriate endings are added according to who is performing the action

Singular

er brauch-t he needs
sie brauch-t she needs
es brauch-t it needs

Plural
