Studied Woher kommst du? from DW’s Nicos Weg: introductions, where someone comes from, and where they live. Also reviewed previously learned vocabulary in Seedlang.
Grammar: present-tense conjugation
Review: DW — Conjugation: present tense (1).
A verb’s ending changes with its subject. For regular verbs, remove the infinitive ending to find the stem, then add the appropriate ending.
| Subject | Regular ending | kommen — to come | heißen — to be called | sein — to be |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ich — I | -e | ich komme | ich heiße | ich bin |
| du — you, informal singular | -st | du kommst | du heißt | du bist |
| Sie — you, formal singular or plural | -en | Sie kommen | Sie heißen | Sie sind |
- Stems ending in -s, -ß, -z, or -x take -t with du, rather than -st: du heißt.
- Sein is irregular; memorise its forms separately.
- Grammar terms: das Verb = verb; die Konjugation = conjugation; das Präsens = present tense.
