Last time I did a 3 Minuten Deutsch video, I decided to record two versions. The first one was in English, like always and the second one was in German with English and German subtitles. This week, I decided to do the same. The example sentences in each video are the same, but the explanations are a bit different. You can see both videos below. The first one is in English and the second is in German. In these videos, I talk about some very specific irregular verbs in the present perfect tense. These verbs simply take -en instead of -t at the end of the past participle. Under the videos, you can find more verbs that weren't in the video and more examples of how to use these verbs.

What's next?
The next episode of 3 Minuten Deutsch will be released in a couple of weeks. I will talk about more irregular verbs then. There are several patterns I want to isolate over the next several weeks to make it easier for you to memorize some German verbs that you can use in the present perfect tense. Test your knowledge in the comments on my website, in the discussion forum, or in the comments on YouTube.
