Last week on Thursday, we met online again.
As mentioned in the last post, the topic for that lesson was “verbs”, too, but in past tense.
For the lesson, I had once again prepared and made a list of verbs and their conjugation in the past tense. I also showed them during the lesson, which made it easier. The simplest past tense in German is the simple past, so I taught it. I had prepared the same verbs as in the last lesson, so some of the verbs I had prepared were:
to be – sein
I was – Ich war
You were – Du warst
He/She/It was – Er/Sie/Es war
We were – Wir waren
You were – Ihr wart
They were – Sie waren
to have – haben
I had – Ich hatte
You had – Du hattest
He/She/It had – Er/Sie/Es hatte
We had – Wir hatten
You had – Ihr hattet
They had – Sie hatten
to go – gehen
I went – Ich ging
You went – Du gingst
He/She/It went – Er/Sie/Es ging
We went – Wir gingen
You went – Ihr gingt
They went – Sie gingen
Jorge then taught verbs in Spanish. We talked about which past tense to use and decided on the one I had learned before, which was “el pretérito perfecto” – past perfect. One of the examples was:
To be – ser / estar
I have been – yo he sido
You have been – tú has sido
He/She has been – él/ella ha sido
We have been – nosotros/nosotras hemos sido
You have been – vosotros/vosotras habéis sido
They have been – ellos/ellas han sido
I have been – yo he estado
You have been – tú has estado
He/She has been – él/ella ha estado
We have been – nosotros/nosotras hemos estado
You have been – vosotros/vosotras habéis estado
They have been – ellos/ellas han estado
For the past perfect, the personal pronoun and the conjugated form of “haber” always are used plus the verb.
