💥 Cheat Sheet for PERFEKT

❓ How it's formed:
Auxiliary verb "haben/sein" (conjugated in Präsens) + Participle II of the main verb.

🔸 Ich habe die ganze Woche gearbeitet - I worked the whole week.
🔸 Er ist nach Berlin geflogen - He flew to Berlin.

🔸 When to use Perfekt:
Indicates an action that is already completed, and the result is relevant in the present.

Example:
Ich habe ein neues Auto gekauft.
I bought a new car.

⚡️Haben vs. sein: when to use which?
Haben is used with most verbs.
Sein is used with the following:
🔺 Intransitive verbs of motion (e.g., fahren, gehen)
🔺 Intransitive verbs of change of state (e.g., aufwachen, einschlafen)
🔺 Verbs: sein, werden, bleiben, begegnen

✔️What to remember:
🔻 The main verb (in Participle II form) always remains unchanged; only the auxiliary verb changes.

🔻 The verb "schwimmen" can be used with both "haben" and "sein" depending on the context. Compare:
🔸Sie sind ans Ufer geschwommen.
They swam to the shore (movement towards a specific goal).
🔸Sie hat mehr als eine Stunde im Pool geschwommen.
She swam in the pool for more than an hour (emphasis on the action itself, without a specific goal)

🔄 Top 10 reflexive verbs

🤓 Reflexive verbs are formed from the verb itself and the reflexive pronoun "sich". But some of them you just have to remember!

🔴 Let's look at the 10 most important reflexive verbs:

1️⃣ sich interessieren - to be interested in

Surprisingly, this is probably the first reflexive verb we learn from teachers and textbooks. It can be useful in almost any situation!

Ich interessiere mich für Geschichte. - I am interested in history.

2️⃣ sich treffen / sich sehen - to meet / see

These two verbs rightly share the second place. They are mainly used for agreements, although they can be used at any time.

Wir werden uns morgen treffen. - We shall meet tomorrow.
Sie sehen sich jeden Tag. - They see each other every day.

3️⃣ sich erholen / sich ausruhen - to rest / relax

These are some of the nicest reflexive verbs, because they are talking about relaxation, which we all need! When you're relaxing, remember that in German it's a reflexive verb, and don't lose the sich!

Hast du dich erholt? - Have you had a rest?
Er ruht sich gerade aus. - He is now relaxing/resting.

4️⃣ sich freuen - to rejoice

Also a very nice verb. But there is a complication with it - its control. It's dual: you can say auf + Akk (to rejoice in something present and coming), or you can say über + Akk (something past or present).

Er hat sich über das Geschenk gefreut. - He was very excited about the gift.

5️⃣ sich kümmern - to care

If about someone, then: sich um + Akk kümmern!

Ich kann mich um dich kümmern. - I can take care of you.

6️⃣ sich bemühen - to try

That's what we do when we learn German!

Ich werde mich sehr bemühen! - I will try hard!

7️⃣ sich beschäftigen - to do

If anything, then: mit + Dativ! The verb is used with almost any kind of activity!

Sie beschäftigt sich gerne mit Kindern. - She is very eager to take care of the children.

8️⃣ sich entscheiden - to decide

For example, to finally decide to learn German.

Ich konnte mich nicht entscheiden - I could not make up my mind

9️⃣ sich gewöhnen - to get used to

This is also a reflexive verb. When we get used to something, the control appears: an + Akk

Habt ihr euch schon an das Leben in Deutschland gewöhnt? - Are you already used to life in Germany?

🔟 sich erinnern - to remember / recall

Yes, that's a reflexive verb too. You have to remember that it's used with: an+Akk

Ich erinnere mich gerne an meinen letzten Urlaub. - I eagerly remember my last holiday.

🌟 How to Learn German Words? 🤓

📌 There are numerous ways to immerse yourself in a language: surround yourself with sticky notes with words, continuously watch movies in German, and listen to music. There's another method - incorporate German into your daily life. How to do it?

🔺 First and foremost - learn the names of items around you in German. For example, every day you may see das Laptop (the laptop) on your desk. Nearby, there could be das Buch (book), die Handcreme (hand cream), die Brille (glasses).

🔺 After that, you can move on to other items. Suppose every morning you go to the kitchen (die Küche) and turn on the kettle (der Wasserkocher). You can add a few verbs and phrases: essen, trinken - Ich trinke jeden Morgen Kaffee. Later, when all these phrases and words settle in your mind, add emotions and feelings: Ich fühle mich heute müde, so werde ich den Kaffee stärker machen. - Today, I feel tired, so I'll make the coffee stronger.

🔺 This way, you can practice in various situations: on the way to work, in the car, at work (especially if you need to learn specific vocabulary). This will not only help you learn new words but also gradually integrate German into your life and overcome the language barrier. 💪🏻

🇩🇪 Separable Prefixes

📌Today, we will go over 4 simple rules for using separable prefixes. To do this, we will take the following verbs:

anmachen - to turn on
ausmachen - to turn off
aufmachen - to open
zumachen - to close

⚡️Rule #1: In a simple declarative sentence, the separable prefix goes to the very end (in the place of the second part of the predicate). This applies to all simple tenses (Präsens, Präteritum) as well as the imperative mood.

▫️Ich mache das Licht an - I turn on the light.

▫️Ich machte das Licht an - I turned on the light.

▫️Mach das Licht an! - Turn on the light!

❗️In compound tenses like Futur, Perfekt, Plusquamperfekt, etc., the prefix is not separated from the verb and remains in its place in the infinitive or Partizip (II).

⚡️Rule #2: In verbs with separable prefixes, the Partizip II is formed as follows: prefix + GE + part of the verb.

▫️Ich habe das Licht angemacht - I turned on the light.

⚡️Rule #3: When using a modal verb, the main verb is placed at the end in the infinitive form, and the prefix is not separated. This rule applies to both questions and declarative sentences.

▫️Kannst du die Flasche aufmachen? - Can you open the bottle?

▫️Ich kann die Flasche nicht aufmachen - I can't open the bottle.

⚡️Rule #4: Separation of the prefix depends on the tense used. If the tense is compound (meaning it uses an auxiliary verb), the prefix is either not separated (Infinitiv) or "drags" ge behind it (Partizip II).

▫️Wann wirst du die Flasche aufmachen? - Futur - When will you open the bottle?

▫️Hast du schon die Flasche aufgemacht? - Have you already opened the bottle?

⚡️If there's no need for an auxiliary verb in the tense, the prefix is separated in the question and placed at the end.

▫️Wer macht das Fenster zu? - Who will close the window?
