The perfect tense: regular verbs
Foundation pp. 10–11
Higher pp. 8–9
Use the perfect tense to talk about actions you have done or did in the past. A lot of what you hear and read
is about things that happened in the past and you will frequently be expected to talk about the past.
In German, there is no difference between ‘I bought’, ‘I have bought’ and ‘I did buy’. You always have to include
the German for ‘have’.
Forming the perfect tense
The perfect tense is made up of two parts: the auxiliary verb and the past participle (at the end of the clause).
Most verbs form the perfect tense with a part of the auxiliary verb haben (to have). Regular verbs form the past
participle with ge…t around the stem. (The stem is the infinitive with –en removed.)

Which form of the verb do you need here?
Remember that the past participle
goes at the end of the sentence.
Here you will need two clauses,
each with an auxiliary verb and a
past participle.
Remember to add an extra
e to the past participle.
Yesterday I needed trainers but I bought a schoolbag. Last weekend my friends and I played volleyball.
It was fun and we laughed. My sister did her homework on Saturday and then she worked in the café. Later
she listened to her favourite music and then she looked for her favourite book.
Use a perfect tense here.
Lachen means ‘to laugh’.
