4 A verb is a doing word like to do A verb you look up in the dictionary has an en or n ending and is called an infinitive, e.g. machen (to do)

5 But how do I use this verb in the PRESENT TENSE? Simple! Just follow the 2 steps on the next slide!!!!

6 Step 1: get rid off the INFINIVE ending: machen Step 2: add the verb endings for I, you etc. Ichmache

7 Ichdu ersiees (I) (you – talking to a young person) (he)(she)(it) est ttt machen

Have a look at this: Mein Freund Mein Bruder Mein Vater = er (he) = ending t Mein Bruder macht Meine Freundin Meine Schwester Meine Mutter = sie (she) = ending t Meine Mutter macht Meine Freundin und ich = wir (we) = ending en Meine Freundin und ich machen Meine Eltern Meine Freunde = sie (they) = ending en e.g. Meine Eltern machen

18 Just in case you noticed a few odd things going on….. 1. With infinitives that end in n, e.g. wandern, Sie/wir/sie just have an n verb ending, i.e. wir wandern 2. If the stem of a verb ends in z,e.g. faulenz.. or in ß,e.g. heiß.., du just has a t verb ending.
