German A1 - The 'Perfekt' Tense (Part 1, The Basics)
This is a brief 2-page handout introducing students to the very basics of the German ‘Perfekt’ tense. The ‘Perfekt’ is similar in appearance and structure to the English present perfect tense, however, the way in which it’s used is different.

Similar to English, participles can be either regular (“weak”) or irregular (“strong”). Examples of weak and strong participles are provided along with sample sentences in German.
