As you can imagine, there are a lots of different time forms concerning conjugation. For example future, past, subjunctive, past perfect etc\u2026 Even for me as a native speaker, it gets to a complicated level very fast.<\/p>\n<p>But to keep it on a simpler level, we\u00b4re going to stay with the indicative mode (present tense).<\/p>\n<p>So there are different cases or persons to conjugate. These cases\/persons are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ich <\/strong>\u2013 Me or I<br \/>\n<strong>Du <\/strong>\u2013 you (singular)<br \/>\n<strong>Er <\/strong>\u2013 he<br \/>\n<strong>Sie <\/strong>\u2013 she<br \/>\n<strong>Es <\/strong>\u2013 it<br \/>\n<strong>Wir <\/strong>\u2013 We<br \/>\n<strong>Ihr <\/strong>\u2013 you (plural)<br \/>\n<strong>Sie <\/strong>\u2013 they<\/p>\n<p>So we\u00b4ll begin with a simple example. Let\u00b4s take the verb <strong>\u201cgehen\u201d<\/strong> (to walk):<\/p>\n<p>Ich gehe \u2013 I walk<br \/>\nDu gehst \u2013 you walk<br \/>\nEr geht \u2013 he walks<br \/>\nSie geht \u2013 she walks<br \/>\nEs geht \u2013 it walks<br \/>\nWir gehen \u2013 we walk<br \/>\nIhr geht \u2013 you walk<br \/>\nSie gehen \u2013 they walk<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, in German there are a lot more differences as in English. In English there is just a difference with the third person (he\/she\/it) whereas in German it changes almost with every person.<\/p>\n<p>A second example is the verb <strong>\u201ckratzen\u201d<\/strong> (to scratch). Here it looks a bit confusing because of the z\u00b4s and t\u00b4s:<\/p>\n<p>Ich kratze \u2013 I scratch<br \/>\nDu kratzt \u2013 you scratch<br \/>\nEr kratzt \u2013 he scratches<br \/>\nSie kratzt \u2013 she scratches<br \/>\nEs kratzt \u2013 it scratches<br \/>\nWir kratzen \u2013 we scratch<br \/>\nIhr kratzt \u2013 you scratch<br \/>\nSie kratzen \u2013 they scratch<\/p>\n<p>As you can see\u00a0 here, not all the verbs follow the same rules when you conjugate them. The endings of \u201cgehen\u201d and \u201ckratzen\u201d are totally different when conjugating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what I want to do now, is giving you some verbs to conjugate<\/strong> (only German). You can use the comment field for you conjugations:<\/p>\n<p><strong>stehen <\/strong>\u2013 to stay<br \/>\n<strong>lesen <\/strong>\u2013 to read<br \/>\n<strong>leben <\/strong>\u2013 to live<\/p>\n<p>Two days from now I will publish the correct conjugations so you can compare it with your exercise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I want to practice a little conjugation with you.
