Präsens Glossary of terms

The Präsens is the verb tense that expresses actions or states that occur in the present or that have general validity.

Detailed Explanation

The Präsens is formed by conjugating the verb in its basic form. For regular verbs, specific endings are added to the verb stem. Irregular verbs may change their stem. It is used for current facts, habits, universal truths, and planned future actions.

Unlike English, German does not have a separate continuous form, so the Präsens can also express actions in progress.
