Grammar

In the previous episodes, we already covered conjugations a little bit. In German, like in English, verbs must be conjugated (changed) depending on the personal pronoun. Let’s compare two verbs:

to be

I am
you are
he, she, it is

we are
(you (pl.) are)
they are

kommen

ich komme
du kommst
er, sie, es kommt

wir kommen
ihr kommt
sie kommen

The three colored plural forms at the bottom (kommen, kommt, kommen) are a copy of one or two forms at the top.

You’re not expected to study all of these forms yet. For now, you only need to actively use the conjugation with ich:

kommen
ich komme

wohnen
ich wohne

arbeiten
ich arbeite

Regular verbs all follow the same pattern. The ending changes. The rest stays the same. But some verbs are irregular. That’s why können and kannst are actually forms of the same verb. To keep it simple, we will focus on those much later.

2 Correct only the wrong personal pronouns
Choose where to fill in „ich“. Or choose „–“ if it’s not wrong.
