Simple Past Irregular Verb Conjugation


In this week's 3 Minuten Deutsch episode, I explained the conjugation of irregular verbs in the simple past tense. Since I didn't really give you a lot of verbs to use in this tense that are irregular from the video, I have linked a few other videos I have done about this topic over the years so that you can find out more about the conjugation of irregular verbs in the simple past tense.



The thing that most people memorize when they are have finished learning the simple past and present perfect tenses, is a list of irregular verbs in their 3 principle parts. This is usually considered the infinitive, simple past, and present perfect forms of the verbs. During my German with Puppets series, I made a video list as acted out by some puppets.


Since I usually teach the simple past tense around December, I made a song for this tense a long time ago. You can learn how to conjugate regular and irregular verbs in the simple past tense just by memorizing this version of Jingle Bells.


If worksheets are more your thing, you can watch the worksheet video that goes with the German with Puppets video linked above.


If you still have questions about the simple past tense, you can ask them in the comments below or you can wait until next week when I will be talking about the categories of irregular verbs in German.
