In German grammar, verbs are classified into two main categories: strong (irregular) and weak (regular) verbs. This classification is based on how they form their past participle and past tense forms.

Strong Verbs: Strong verbs undergo a vowel change (ablaut) in their stem when forming the past participle and simple past tense. Examples include:

  • singen (to sing) - sang, gesungen
  • gehen (to go) - ging, gegangen
  • laufen (to run) - lief, gelaufen

Weak Verbs: Weak verbs, on the other hand, form their past participle by adding the prefix "ge-" and the suffix "-t" (or "-et" for verbs ending in "-ieren"). The simple past tense is formed by adding the suffix "-te" (or "-ete"). Examples include:

  • malen (to paint) - malte, gemalt
  • studieren (to study) - studierte, studiert

It's important to note that some verbs, known as mixed verbs, exhibit characteristics of both strong and weak verb conjugations. Additionally, there are irregular verbs that follow their own unique patterns.

Mastering the conjugation patterns of strong and weak verbs is crucial for accurate verb usage and tense formation in German.
