How many of the German tenses do you really know? Hello and welcome to the Lingster Academy! I'm your German teacher Julia and in this video we'll take a look at all the German tenses again. Not at a low level, but we'll make it a little more challenging. If you want to learn the basics of the German tempo, then watch my first video about it. I also made a nice overview of the tenses for you. You can get them in my free learning package. The link to download is below this video. So, are you ready? Then let's go! How many tenses are there in German? There are a total of 6. Presence, Präteritum, Perfect, Plusquamperfekt, Futur I and Futur II. I will only briefly go into the first two tenses, because you are already on a higher level and master these tenses in sleep, right? Still, here are some information about the present. So you can not only talk about the present, but also about the future, something very general, and even about the past. Future. Next year I want to take the C1 exam. Important! You need a time in the future for this. General. In order to pass the C1 exam, you have to prepare very well. Or with a German course you get to your goal faster. Past. Imagine what happened to me last week. And what do I see? All my friends are waiting for me, because my boyfriend organized a surprise party for me. This historical presence makes the experience more interesting and present. You can also find it in jokes. Let's take a quick look at the past tense. It is only used in the past, especially in written and formal texts, so rather not in a WhatsApp message. Nevertheless, we use some verbs also when speaking rather in the past tense. have, had, be, was The modal verbs, i.e. can, could, may, may, etc. Then we say rather there was instead of there was. In general, both tenses are correct. In German it is not like in English. By the way, it also depends on the region and the speaker. Some use more past tense, others less. And with that we already come to the perfect. We only use that for the past and it always consists of two verbs, an auxiliary verb and the participle 2. As I just said, the difference between perfect and past tense is relatively simple. It's not like in English or Spanish. The two tenses are almost always the same in terms of meaning, they are only used in different situations. The perfect is mainly used in informal situations. Let's take a look at some special verbs in the perfect, namely double infinitives. Modal verbs are one of them. They are usually used in the past tense, but of course they are also in the perfect. I was able to go to school, have to go, may go, want to go, etc. You can also find the double infinitives in the verbs see, hear and let. I saw you coming. You heard me sing. She let her children go to the party. There is a special feature in the subordinate clause. In verb forms with two infinitives, the conjugated verb, I couldn't come because I had to work. I said I saw you coming. Did you ask why she let her children go to the party? This is often done by native speakers, but not you. Let's continue with the past perfect. Unfortunately, many native speakers also do this wrong. Very important! The past perfect can't stand alone. You can only find it in combination with a perfect or past tense. This time is there to express something that happened before something else in the past. Therefore, we also speak of pre-tenseness. I'll give you a few examples. The company had already completed the project Customer made requests in the past, but the project was already finished before that. We were disappointed because the event was canceled. The cancellation came before the disappointment. After we had checked the most important facts, we decided to postpone the decision. First check facts, then postpone the decision. Everything in the past. You can find the sign word after that very often with the past perfect. In general, we tell what happened first and what came after, so chronologically, but in the past perfect it is exactly the other way around. Now there are two times left, namely the future 1 and 2. The future 1 is very versatile, because you can not only express the future with it. Your colleague will probably contact you today. In the coming months, the government will take new measures to stabilize the economy. We will present the results of the survey when all participants have submitted their feedback. Then you can also promise I will definitely submit my homework tomorrow. Next week I will finally clean up the basement. Do you know prophecies? Your proposal will not be very successful. This scandal will have far-reaching consequences. And finally, you can express assumptions. Where is Claudia? She will definitely be on her way to the airport. What are my parents doing right now? They will surely work in the garden or do something else at home. Why is she coming home so late today? She will have a lot to do. And finally, the future 2. You form this with the verb to become, the participle 2 and have or be in the infinitive. This way you can express things that are already finished in the future. Next year around this time I will have passed my C1 exam. By the end of the course, you will have understood the grammar well. What do you think? Will humanity travel to Mars by the end of this decade? What is also possible is perfect with a time indication. When I have passed my C1 exam next year, I am looking for a new job. Let's come to assumptions about the past. Why was the boss so in a good mood today? She will have hired a new customer. Why was she in the office later today? She will have celebrated her new project last night. Why didn't Chris come to the party yesterday? He will have had other plans. Attention to the sentence structure in the subordinate clause! The conjugated verb, i.e. the form of become, is at the end. From tomorrow on, he can finally relax I'm sure she will have made a decision by next week. I think we will have planned all the details for the trip by this evening. Yes, that was a nice time travel through the Tempora. Don't worry, with a little practice you will understand everything very soon. And that's it for today. If you liked the video and you learned something, subscribe to my channel now.
