Personal Pronouns: I you he she it in German

Today I want to cover some German personal pronouns (ich, du, er, sie, es) and the corresponding endings of the verbs.

You’ll also learn how to ask a question in German.

Did you know that German verbs (in the basic form) have mostly an “en” at the end?

For example: to eat, to drink, to come, to read… => in German: essen, trinken, kommen, lesen

The endings change according to the personal pronouns. Let’s look at the word spielen and the personal pronouns ich, du, er, sie, es.
