So here we describe the points and simple language, all you need to get started to know about the German verb conjugation.

Conjugation of verbs in German, accompanied by a change in the form of the verb:

  1. persons (I, you, you, we, he, she, they).
  2. number (u numbers more. Number).
  3. time (past, present, future).

Similarly, changing verbs in the Russian language, so that this diversity should not surprise us.It is enough to get acquainted with what it gives the form of the German verb conjugation.

To conjugate is necessary to determine the initial form of the German verb:

If the Russian language, it ends with "-t" (case be , boil be , run be ), in German«-en».

mach en - do,

koch en - cook,

heß en - call,

lauf en - run.

In order to form a different form of the verb, must be discarded and -en added to the basis of the new ending.

mach-

koch-

heiß-

lauf-

first person - I and we

I do - Ich mach e ,

We do - Wir mach en .

As you can see, in the first person plural form of the verb, in fact, does not change.It is the same as the initial.

second person - you and you

It is the second person we use when writing to someone else.It's all on the contrary, for some reason, the plural was honored with a simple finish.And if you refer to a single interlocutor, then garnish with the foundation flowery words "-st".Compare:

You're doing - Du mach st ,

you do - Ihr mach t .

third person - he, she, they

for third party use two end «-t» (singular), «-en» (plural).

He does - Er mach t ,

She does - Sie mach t ,

They do - Sie mach en .

As you can see, here in the plural form of the verb also differs from the initial one.

In these cases, the end of the letter is diluted «-e».

Ihr biet t - no, do not write.

Ihr biet et - this is the right option.

This rule applies to other words that ends with the standard will sound dissonant, for example, begegn en (to meet).His foundation ends with -n.Agree utter -nt not so simple.In this example, the front of the complex -n is another consonant, so that a "-gn".Thus, without diluting the sentence "You meet" would have looked like this:

Ihr bege gnt

three consonants in a row - it's too hard to say, besides the word spread and clearly deserves a simple utterance.Therefore, it would be correct:

Ihr begegn et
