Conjugation: present tense (2)

The Präsens is the verb form used for the present tense. Most verbs are conjugated in the present tense as follows:

Example: kommen

 

Singular1st personich komme
 2nd persondu kommst
 3rd personer/sie/es kommt
Plural1st personwir kommen
 2nd personihr kommt
 3rd personsie kommen
Formal (singular und plural) Sie kommen

 


The only difference between the third-person plural and the formal address is that the formal Sieis written with a capital letter.

If the stem of a verb ends with -d or -t, the conjugation in second and third person singular and the second person plural takes an additional -e-.

 

For example: arbeiten (to work)

Singular1st personich arbeite
 2nd persondu arbeitest
 3rd personer/sie/es arbeitet
Plural1st personwir arbeiten
 2nd personihr arbeitet
 3rd personsie arbeiten
Formal (singular und plural) Sie arbeiten

 

 

Some verbs have an irregular conjugation.

Example: sein

Singular1st personich bin
 2nd persondu bist
 3rd personer/sie/es ist
Plural1st personwir sind
 2nd persorihr seid
 3rd personsie sind
Formal (singular and plural) Sie sind

 

Conjugation: haben

Welche Nummer hast du? – Ich habe die Nummer vier, eins, acht, sieben.

Conjugation of the verb haben

The verb haben is irregular in the second- and third-person singular: the b is omitted.

Singular 
1st personich habe
2nd persondu hast
3rd personer/sie/es hat
Plural 
1st personwir haben
2nd personihr habt
3rd personsie haben
Formal:Sie haben
