“Lernen” is a tricky verb for English speakers, since it can be translated as either “to study” or “to learn.” Here, Sabine and Jan present all the conjugations of the verb, and show the various contexts in which it can appear.

Using several examples, Sabine and Jan explain the weak verb "erklären" ("to explain") in the following verb tenses: present, simple past, present perfect, and conditional. The present perfect form of the verb is conjugated with the auxiliary verb "haben" ("to have") and in German often used similarly to the simple past, or preterite tense.

The regular verb “arbeiten” (“to work”) is one of the most commonly used verbs in German. Here, Jan and Sabine give us several sample sentences that use different tenses.
