Lesson 2: IRREGULAR VERBS
The Verb ‘SEIN’
One of the fundamental verbs in any language is ‘to
be’ or sein. Unlike
the conjugation of regular verbs, this verb is irregular and has its own
conjugation. Mastering the
usage of this verb is essential in successful German dialogue and
understanding. This particular verb is very important for usage of
other verbs in other complex forms and tenses.
