German Grammar Explained /
Present
The present tense is an example that German grammar can be quite simple sometimes.
Compare:
I speak three languages. | → | Ich spreche drei Sprachen. |
I'm speaking with my mum. | → | Ich spreche mit meiner Mutter. |
I'll speak to you tomorrow. | → | Ich spreche morgen mit dir. |
Easy. That's great news!
Not so fast. The verb sprechen is a bit irregular.
I knew it...
ich | spreche |
du | sprichst (!) |
er/sie | spricht (!) |
That doesn't seem too bad.
It's not difficult. Since you don't have to think about the regular verbs much, the irregular ones will seem easier and easier to you over time!
I suppose practice makes perfect...?
Absolutely! You'll learn them quickly since we use these words all the time.
