Challenge-IKA #1

You are going to master the Partizip II

The Partizip II is one of the most important grammatical concepts in German. It helps you to build sentences in the past, sentences in Passiv and sentences in Konjunktiv II.

The main problem is its construction: many verbs are irregular, which means one thing: you have to learn them by heart.

To form the Partizip II von regular verbs is easy. Let’s take wohnen as an example.

The first step we have to do is add the Präfix ge- at the beginning of the verb: gewohnen
The second step is to eliminate the termination -en: gewohn
The third step is to add -t at the end of the word. gewohnt.
You have formed the Partizip II of one regular verb.

But what about irregular ones? Well, you have different options.

Sometimes you just have to add ge- at the beginning of the verb: gekommen
Sometimes you only have to change the termination of the verb and add -t: telefoniert
Sometimes the word changes completely: gegangen (gehen)

Good luck in the challenge!
