Regelmäßiges Verb Glossary of terms

A regular verb in German is one that maintains its invariable stem and follows standard conjugation rules in all tenses and moods.

Additional Information

Detailed Explanation

German regular verbs are characterized by keeping their stem unchanged when conjugated. They add specific endings according to the tense, person, and number. In the present tense, for example, the endings -e, -st, -t, -en, -t, -en are added to the verb stem. This consistency makes them easier to learn and use than irregular verbs.
