A guide to Separable Verbs in German. For more on this and other aspects of German grammar visit my website [ Ссылка ]


Well, verbs have seemed pretty easy so far, but there are a few special verbs that have their own weird and wonderful ways about them. These include haben (to have) and sein (to be), verbs that are a bit unusual in just about any language. Then there are separable verbs (eg to go out, to come in), modal verbs (can, must, etc) and reflexive verbs (eg I wash myself). We will deal with separable verbs here.

The aim of the website tenthingsgerman.com and the associated YouTube channel is to offer simple and understandable explanations of German grammar and, as the name suggests, it focuses on the ten key things you really need to know about. Sometimes, in the interests of keeping things simple, the odd grammatical corner has been cut and there is a bit more to the total of German grammar than you will find here. But, if you are a beginner or intermediate learner of the German language, you will find that knowing these ten things will get you by. 10 things german doesn't set out to teach you vocabulary - it's just about grammar.

Please be aware that the videos have no soundtrack. This is deliberate, so that they may be used in the classroom by teachers who can provide their own commentary. If you are an individual learner and need some sound, you can always listen to some appropriate music!
