Regular and Irregular Verbs
The verbs sein (to be) and haben (to have) are the two most important German words and you have to know them well if you want to survive in Germany.
Most verbs are regular. A regular verb is a verb whose conjugation follows the typical pattern.
Do you remember Basic Lesson No 11?
At the bottom of lesson 11 I showed you the regular verb: trinken:
Singular
ich trinke
du trinkst
er, sie, es trinkt
Plural
wir trinken
ihr trinkt
sie trinken
Sein and haben for instance are irregular verbs.
We use these two words in many situations and also in compound tenses (but always step by step). Let’s practice a little with the verb haben.
Conjugation haben = to have (irregular verb)
Now let’s practice a little with the irregular verb haben.
