Ich bin bei meiner Freundin gewesen. Hast du sie gesehen? I worked a lot today. I have been at my girlfriend. Did you see her? rules There are 3 tenses to speak about the past: das Perfekt (Perfect) das Pr teritum (Preterite) das Plusquamperfekt (Pluperfect) We will concentrate at first on the " Perfekt " because it's almost always used and so the most important way to speak about the past. Don't confuse the " Perfekt " in German with the "Present Perfect" in English. It doesn't have the same purpose. How do you form the " Perfekt " tense ? Hilfsverben (auxiliary verbs = "helping verbs") There are two "Hilfsverben" in German: haben (have) sein (be) When do you have to use "haben" and when "sein"? You use "sein" when the verb shows a change of position or condition gehen (go), kommen (come), wandern (hiking) You use "sein" when the verb shows a crossing of a "boundary" sterben (die), einschlafen (fall asleep) You use "sein" when the verb is an intransitive verb (=verb without direct object) Vergangenheit Perfekt Theorie Thomas H fler 2005 2009 2 For all other cases use "haben" as "Hilfsverb".
