Foreword
The verb is a very important part of speech; it denotes action or state of being. The noted American historian and poet, Carl Sandburg, once declared that the Civil War was fought over a verb, namely, whether it was correct to say ÒThe
United States
is
Ó or ÒThe United States
are For each of the 501 verbs listed in this book, the student will find the principal parts of each verb at the top of the page. The principal parts consist of:
1.the Infinitive
2.the third person singular of the Past Tense
3.the Past Participle (preceded by istfor seinverbs)
4.the third person singular of the Present Tense
EXAMPLE:ENGLISH: to speak, spoke, spoken, speaks
G
ERMAN:sprechen, sprach,gesprochen,spricht
These are the basic forms of the verb and should be memorized, especiall y in the case of the irregular or strong verbs, that is verbs which change th e stem vowel of the Infinitive to form the Past Tense and whose Past Participle ends in en . More than one-half of the verbs in this book are strong or irregular v erbs. Weak or regular verbs do not change the stem vowel of the Infinitive to f orm the Past Tense but merely add the ending te(plus personal endings in the second person singular and the three persons of the plural). Past Participles of weak verbs end in t.
EXAMPLE:ENGLISH: to play, played, played, plays
G
ERMAN:spielen, spielte, gespielt, spielt
Both English and German have strong and weak verbs. With the exception of a small group of verbs called irregular weak verbs (in some texts called mixed verbs or ÒhybridsÓÑsee index), verbs i n German are either weak or strong. The strong or irregular verbs are not as difficult to learn as it might seem, if it is remembered that most of them can be classified i nto seven major groups. For example, the verbs bleiben, leihen, meiden, preisen, reiben, scheiden , scheinen, schreien, schweigen, steigen, treiben, verzeihen, weisen all follow the same pattern as schreibenin their principal parts: schreiben , schrieb, geschrieben, schreibt There are six other major groupings (the ÒAblautsreihenÓ) of the strong verbs with which you should familiarize yourself. You will then agree that the English author, H. H. Munro (Saki), exaggerated the difficulty of German verbs when, in his story ÒTobermory,Ó he told of a professor who had to flee England after a cat, which he had trained to talk, compromised the weekend guests at an Engli sh manor house by revealing their secrets which it (the cat) had overheard. A few weeks thereafter, the newspapers reported that the professor had been found dead in the Dresden Zoo in Germany. Upon hearing this news, one of the guests, who had been embarrassed by the activities of the professor and his remarkab le cat, iv
7_9393_501German_FM1 8/28/07 3:31 PM Page iv
v commented that it served the professor right if he was trying to teach t he poor animals those horrible German irregular verbs. Below the principal parts, you will find the Imperative or Command Form.
Since there are three ways of saying
youin German (du, ihr,and Sie), there are thus three ways of giving commands to people. The first form of the Imperative is the duor familiar singular form which ends in ein most cases, although this eis frequently dropped in colloquial speech. The second form is the ihror Familiar Plural Imperative. It is exactly the same as the ihrform (second person plural) of the Present Tense. The polite or
SieImperative (called in some texts the
Conventional or Formal Imperative) is simply the infinitive plus Sie, except for the imperative of sein , which is seien Sie! The fully conjugated forms of the six tenses of the Indicative will be f ound on the left-hand side of each page. These six tenses state a fact, or, in their interroga- tive (question) form, ask a question about a fact. You should refer to a grammar for more detailed information concerning the use of these tenses: the id iomatic use of the Present for the Future; the use of the Present Perfect in col loquial speech and in non-connected narratives where English uses the past; the
Future
and Future Perfect used idiomatically to express probability; the very i mportant matter of seinand intransitive verbs. See also ÒSpecial Verb Uses,Ó page 15. The right-hand side of each page is devoted to the tenses of the Subjunc tive mood, which is used to denote unreality, possibility, doubt in the mind of the speaker. For information concerning the use of the Subjunctive (indirect disco urse; the use of the Past Subjunctive or Present Subjunctive II for the Condit ional), you should also consult a grammar and ÒThe Subjunctive Mood,Ó page 24. There are four ÒTimesÓ in the Subjunctive: Present, Past, Future, and Future Perfect time. Each of the ÒTimesÓ has a primary and secondary form (indicated by I and II in many grammars). This more recent classification of the forms of the Subjunctive corresponds better to its actual use. However, since some grammars still use the traditional names for the tenses of the Subjunctive (whic h parallel the names for the tenses of the Indicative), they have been given in parent heses. The form ginge, for example, may be called the Imperfect or Past Subjunctive of gehenin some books. In most grammars published today, however, it will be called the Present Subjunctive Secondary (II) or General Subjunctive.
The student
will find gingelisted in this book under Subjunctive, Present Time, Secondary. The alternate designation Imperfect Subjunctive is also given in parenth eses.
The Present Participle of the verb (that is,
dancingdolls, flyingsaucers, singing dogs) has been omitted, since in almost all cases it merely adds a dto the infini-quotesdbs_dbs6.pdfusesText_11
