7. 1.05 Das Perfekt (Present perfect): and this. Listen, we will travel to do past a little bit. If you finish the last course with me, you probably already know everything about the German perfect. And this will be a great repetition. And if not, don't worry, because in this lesson you will learn everything you need to know about the German past tense. How to build the perfect dust. Perfect is made of two parts. The first part is the auxiliary verb habit or resign, and the second part is something called participants by. Let me explain what each of dad means. The auxiliary verbs conjugated in the present tense depending on the person it's referring to, so it will be, is have a good do has to get cough and Z is good common if you don't remember the present tense off the German auxiliary verbs have been one Zain quickly repeated ish Harbor du Hast Izzy s hut, Ria Harbin. You helped Z Harbin and Zain ish been do beest as e esse est via Zind years. ICT seasoned. So how to know when to use ha been and when to use design? Most verbs values have been as their auxiliary verb in the perfect. So if you are in doubt and not so sure go, it happen. There are much bigger chances that you'll be right. A smaller amount of verbs uses Zain as the helping verb for building the perfect. It'll mostly be verbs that shows some kind off movement, something that is going some point A to point B, for example, common ish been ago. Common gear Do best garden or Father years. Enter Ghafar. Also, verbs that indicate a change of state will also use design. For example, Off Martin do Best Afghan or stab on air is that 700 nines is a good start, and the second part, the second part is the party zips by for regular works. It's formed by adding gay A in front of the verb and a suffix t at the end of the world, for example, get coked. We have the verb corker removed the infinitive ending. Add gay in front of it and t at the end or game us get a bite. It irregular Verbs will also add gay at the beginning, but e n at the end, for example, the irregular verb Xeon. We have removed a E n add ghee in front of the verb and end at the end because it's a every glover Gizzi in Get often, give Father and some irregular verbs will also change their stem. For example, drinking get Duncan or Flegal GIF Logan. Besides that, some verbs will act just plain silly. For example, words beginning with B or fair will not get the prefix game big. Common hot, big common fair call from Hunt Fico and also verbs that end in even will not get the prefix game. Telephone Iran Hard to California Inseparable words will squeeze the game between the two parts that get separated offs tion. Is Afghanistan done mitt common ist Metka common so when to use the perfect dust Perfect will be used when talking about things that happened in the past and is the preferred form in spoken German. We can translate the perfect tense using the English simple, past tense ish harbor. Long a dog cohabited. I worked there for a long time airhead mish angle over. He called me Z's and next a common. They didn't come how to build sentences with the perfect. The word order in a perfect sentence is actually quite important. The auxiliary verb ha Been or resign will always take this second place in the sentence ish harbor mine of formula is Dina. One mine off, coined in isn't after the verb comes. Everything else you want to put in descendants. Who, Where, what and at what time? It's Harbour I, an incline and honed minor familia is lets the Seattle Zaman and then Rouleau Dina 11 of coined Zen foots by Wilson. And then, at the very, very end of the sentence, we put the party zips right ish harbor an incline and who aren't common minor familia is lets the CIA to examine and and Willow give Father Dean Aspen minor point and isn't for its live often won't get soon. Okay, I hope this wasn't too overwhelming. Let's take some herbs, put them in sentences and see what they look like in the perfect Ah, beytin tuber via Harbin. He its value. Forget about it. We worked here for two years, Zan to see it's how about my Nicole Eagan lung and esque a scene I didn't see my colleagues for a long time begin to go. It's been hiding next, so our vodka Garden.

And, like always, the best way to learn is, of course, to practice. So let's do that. Do you and T Teoh?
8. 1.06 Hatte (Had): in today's lesson, we will talk about some verbs you already know, but in a form you still don't know, let's see what's happening. E. I hope you will still remember the verb have been in the present tense ish harbor Do has PSE s hot We a horrible year helped Z Z have been great And now let's take a look at a few sentences. Try to find a verb. Ha! Been If you look closely, you will see that something is a little bit off issue hotter Einen haunt Assist Kleinbard I had a dog when I was little. Minamata, Hatter Island Guten drop about yet this CR by Selves. My mother had a good job, but now she's unemployed. You hadn't for your in my feel guilt. We always had a lot of money before Let's the vodka had to tear China's it song. Last week you had a meeting. Do you know it? Is it what tense rd sentences in And what does the verb hub and look like? If you paid close attention, you could probably notice that all these sentences are in the past and that the verb Harbin looks different than we're used to seeing it. What you see here is another past tense and German this 2nd 1 that we will learn the first honest, the perfect. Remember, this one is called pretty rhythm. Sounds fancy, right end of days. Where is the perfect tens? Was made out of two parts. The pretty return will be made off on Lee. One part, it's the verb with the corresponding endings. You will learn more about the endings and how exactly to build it later on. Well, in German, these two tenses are completely interchangeable. This means that unlike in English, these two different past tenses can be used in place off each other however you want. Still, there are some general rules when we'll use which one. The perfect is the tense you will hear mostly in spoken German. Using the pretty return will mostly sound a little bit too pasha and luxurious. The pretty return will be mostly used for very formal and written German for contracts, Romans and articles. So, since pretty victim is not so common, I generally won't bother you would it until level B one end up. But there are some verbs that really prefer the pretty rhythm and some of them are the auxiliary. Verbs have a non Zain, all the mortal words and a few different art of herbs like Hyson Visit or Denkinger. But for most off the verbs we learned so far, you will use the perfect for the past form. So here is a verb Harbin. And we just found out that he prefers to be in the pretty return tents in the past. Let's see what it looks like. Issue hot Do hardest A Z s hot via Hutton here. How did ZZ Hatton not so difficult? Right, Let's go to it one more time is hotter. Do Hodges e l z is hot via fronton. Yeah, I took a Z z Hutton Notice that we will get a double t here and lose the beat completely. Andrew used the ending's a s a n ed, and let's check out some examples with the past form off the verb hob. And we just learned Isis Klein were hard to issue. China cuts z ha Jeb lower Calgon via Hadn't Emma fears past Zaman minus rest? I had to sign an haunt. Air had to shreds Affleck their hunt IndyCar, tsa, Hatton and more flu. Don't Hutton area feel a problem? I hope that this lesson helped you and that you are a little bit more confident now to use the verb. Ha. Been in the past form. Do you do?
9. 1.07 War (Was): in the last lesson, we learned how to use the verb ha been in the past tense and in this listen, we will learn the same for the verb design to be so. If you want to talk about your past experiences or what happened yesterday, you will definitely need to use this verb in the past since so let's learn it. Let's again just quickly check redder. You know the verb design in the present tense. It's been dubious. A SZ as is he is end he aside z zint You know this already, right? So let's check it out in the pretty rhythm, the past form and don't freak out. It will look kind of weird but you already know that zayn is a beard verb Ishiba duf us A Z s Via Vardhan Abad ZZ Marvin It wasn't so bad, right? If you forget the fact that it doesn't look anything like their abs Ayn in the present form . But then again, it's the same in English is and Waas versus is end va and probably in a lot of other languages as well. This world will be quite irregular if you remember the German modal verbs you can maybe noticed that they endings for the move Herbs are the same as the endings for the pretty rhythm of Zain No ending t know Ending and T end Ishiba do bust SZ s for V over Yeah, but z z let's check out the little story with a lot of examples off this verb in the past form Isis Kleiner hadn't finished feel get minamoto of our conscious that owned my father of a boy Obama on my mood oven off and baby owned Via had nine Altes Haus mind Buddha on h Haden nine say moment Feeling speeders often when the guard nova decline about Evers there should in God Nevada ones I want Zain um Obama's When Zika Knappen Barton last few einhaus had this to say I was declined us Vardan garden course.

10. 1.08 Alte Fotos (Old photos): old photos always bring back a lot of memories. And this lesson, we will take a look at a few old photos and listen to the stories behind him. This will, of course, be a great way to repeat the past tense and German build lines. Hello, My name is Mariano. Off Season four Tova is your yard issue orders? Meeting guns.

I'm sure some of this vocabulary will help you to express yourself easier when talking about the past. Do you and T
11. 1.09 Akkusativ (Accusative): If you followed my last course, you may remember one especially difficult and painful lesson. It's the lesson about the German cases, and so far we learned to off them nominative owned acquisitive. Do you still remember it, or would you rather forget all about it? Well, the German cases are by many learners, consider to be one of the most difficult parts of the German grammar, but I think that it's actually quite learn herbal. Yes, there are many rules and exceptions, but once you've er and all of them, it's actually quite easy. So in this lesson, I wanted to remind you of all the things we learned about the German cases so far. So the German cases basically explained to us what all the different parts off the sentences are and what is their rule. I'll try to explain to you with a few example sentences from my course about the German cases where my dog Yaga, help me explain the concept. The case is tell us the grammatical function off overt, meaning the rule, this word place in a sentence. Each case will tell us the specific function off a word or group of words in a sentence and the relation it has to other words around it. So we can think of cases as Facebook for inverts the same way we can find out a lot about people by looking at their Facebook profiles. We can also find out a lot about Verdes by looking at the case there in, we can find out their gender, their role. Are they friends with someone? Is it a strong relationship? Or they just sometimes hang out. When a bird changes from one case to another, it's called the Klensch in, and the verb for this is to decline. No, it doesn't mean decline like and turned out decline like and changing over it from one case to another. Birds that can be declined in the German language are now owns their articles, pronouns and adjectives. All of this sounds a little bit confusing. Let me show you an example. The Airman Foot at Dean Hunt. Now, most of you probably know that wound is a masculine noun, so it's usually Deya. But here we can see, then in front of wound. Why? Well, the man is feeding the dog, which means that the dog is the object off the sentence here. The man is feeding him and we will have to use a different article to show that in English , the states, the always But in German Deya changed into Dean. Because of that, we can do this. Then hunt fit at Dammann. We changed the word order. But we still know that the man is feeding the dog and not the other way around, because the article Dane is showing us that this is the object off the sentence. And the airman is this subject off the sentence. The dog is still the object. It's affected by the action off the men, meaning it's being fed. And Damon is still the subject, the one who is doing the action. That's why the word order in German is a little bit more flexible than in English, because the cases tell us exactly who is doing what and what is its relationship to the adverts. These two sentences air different but mean the exactly same thing Dane hold fitted DeMann Damon fitted, then honed Happy puppy in English. If we would do the same switch, it would mean something completely different. We can't do that because we don't have the cases there. Poor English speakers. So far, we mentioned two off. The case is the norm. Unity and a quiz it they are nominating the nominative case. So let's start with our first case of the four. The nominative. Why is he the 1st 1? It's the easiest one to learn, and probably the most often one. It's the basic basic case. If you take a noun or pronoun out of the dictionary, it will always be in the nominative case. We can say that it's the words the fold state, they're nominative will be this subject off the sentence, meaning the person animal or thing that is doing or being something. The nominative noun is carrying out the action, and the verb is conjugated according to it. So the protagonist, so to say of descendants, is always in the nominative. Let me show you a few examples. Is it clear, then a nominative? I am explaining the nominative. I am the subject of descendants carrying out the action, and therefore, in the nominative case, the verb air clear even to explain is conjugated according to the subject in this case ish , That's Megyn land D chromatic the girl is doing something learning. That's why the girl that's Megyn is the subject off the sentence and in the nominative or DeBruce fe Aetna Berlin, the buses driving to Berlin. The bus is doing the action here and this and the nominative dare una rent Newhouser. The boy is doing something running and again. That's why he's the subject of the sentence. And in the nominative, they're acquisitive. The accuse it'd case and now, to the interesting part, when to use the accuser tive the accused native is the object off the sentence, the direct object. To be more specific, it means that it's directly affected by the action. Off the subject. I remembered a puppy from our first example Damon for Tajuddin Hunt. Damon is this subject off descendants, and now you know that it's the nominative and their hunt is the accuser to the accuse, it of object or the dog is directly affected by the action off the subject. It's being fed. Let's take a look at more examples. Ish s er ein an up food is I is the subject of the sentence, and I'm directly acting upon the apple. That's why the direct object And that's why in the accuse ity a Fiat auto. Yeah, he is the subject and he's acting directly upon the object. The car, meaning he is driving it. That's why the US auto is in the accuse ity vehicle for initial colada. We are the subject, and initial colada is the direct were accuse. It'd object. You get it right kind of. Let's put our nominative articles here and compare them to the acquisitive articles. Let's take a look. What changed. If you look closely, you will see that it's not much. The accuser tive is not Ah so to say, strong case. And as you can see, he will change on Lee de Mescal, inform their into danger. The are just gets prolonged to the ground into an end. Dane Ironman The feminine neutral and plural forms stay the same. If you still feel very confused about the German cases, try maybe going a few steps back and repeat some of the lessons about the cases. Or maybe you could even check out my full course just about the German cases where you will learn everything you ever wanted to know. But I hope that it's more or less clear by now. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I don't owe with
12. 1.10 Für einen Monat (For a month): Felix's looked on an exam. A job. Felix is looking for a summer job. A few of the Langham Fewer Island More, not fewer. Crime monitor would off your line of work. Let's learn how to use that correctly. Few means four, and you probably already know that. Dusky shank. ISF. You mean the present is for him? Or is this few? Meesh Is that for me? But it can also be used to express adoration off time. Few einen tug for a day, and if you're very careful and watch closely here, you can notice that we use the accuse. It'd case enon fear I never also for a week if you're in and mourn it for a month. Feuds. I missed my monitor for 2 to 3 months. Fewer Kenya for a year. Fear in pie Aava for a few years. Let's check out the few example sentences. Hello, It's been wholly owned. Common house. Pani in ish to the UK via chuffed. It's Mr Exam. A few Try monitor Einen Zahn My job Indictment Fender. It's been 14 moon. It'll knock Deutschland Common owned. Blabber here, not fewer. I'm per monitor. So if you is a nice proposition that you can use to talk about a span of time and watch out It will be used with the accused Active case. So we have fuel line and tug fear. I never also fewer Ayn and more nut or few I'll yeah.
13. 1.11 Dativ (Dative): I think that you're finally ready to learn one more case in German data dot So in this listen, we learned when and how to use the data case. East Sider Deem hunt Deng cakes. Isha is the subject because I am doing the action showing the cookie. It's the nominative. The direct object is the cookie. I am doing the action to it, showing it. It's the accuser tive object and my dog is the indirect object. I'm not doing anything directly to him. I'm not showing him, but he is in some way part of the actual because he's looking at a cookie that I'm showing just looking. So the indirect object is part of the action but not being directly affected by what diverged us. And this is the data. You can also tell by the different ending. It's not dare haunted like and nominative. It's also not Dane Hoond, like it would be in the accuse ity. It's Dame honed. Let's check out the complete date of declination and what's changes. So here are the articles in the nominative there I'm dust ein de China and the end kind. Since we don't have the indefinite article in plural and here they are in the accuse ity day in China. And this is what's changed and thus Ein the China and d kinda just like in the No me, not you. And here is our data. Take a good look and try to see what changed and how. Let's see the masculine article turned into Dame and Einem. And not only that, the neutral articles heads the same change as well. See, we imagine that in the accuse it'd the are from DEA, just got prolonged to the ground into n like in Dean here we can imagine that it got a new addition, another leg, and it's turned into an m dame and einem.
