I drove to Berlin
I drove my daughter to school
Both sentences are correct
But why do we use in the first sentence
In the perfect tense the auxiliary verb
is "sein " and in the second sentence
Exactly that's what we're discussing in
today's video Hello and welcome to my channel
Today we're focusing on verbs that
form the perfect tense with the
auxiliary verb "sein " Additionally we'll examine special cases
when both auxiliary verbs are possible
Let's go
First we'll briefly review
what the Perfekt actually is
Perfect is a tense used to describe past events
We mainly use it in spoken
language in conversations and
dialogues when discussing
something that has already happened
For example last
week he worked a lot
I got up at six o'clock yesterday
The perfect tense always consists of two parts: the auxiliary verb
haben or
sein and the past participle
Participles 2 for example are
Most verbs in the German language approximately 80 percent or even
up to 90 percent form the Perfekt
tense using the auxiliary verb haben
Then the question arises: which verbs
form the perfect tense with "sein"
Essentially one can say there
are two verb groups that
form the perfect tense with the auxiliary verb "sein "
The first group includes verbs
that express a change of location
A change of location is a
movement from one place to another
from point A to point B
Among these are for example the verbs
Examples We went by bus
My sister flew to Spain
Last year we traveled to Italy
He went hiking in the Alps over the weekend
The second group consists of verbs
A change of state means
something was in one condition
beforehand and is in a different condition afterward
There is therefore a clear unmistakable
change Something has completely changed
Verbs of state change
include for example the verbs
For example yesterday I
fell asleep early I had
been awake beforehand
and then I fell asleep
My condition has therefore changed completely
This is a change of state
Further examples
The snow has melted
This actor passed away a year ago
The baby has grown very quickly
The sun has disappeared behind the clouds
And there is another verb group that
forms a perfect tense with the auxiliary
verb sein The verbs in this group
express neither a change of location nor
and also the change in state
One could say they are exceptions
These verbs simply need to be memorized
This group includes the verbs
Examples
He was ill last week
We stayed at the hotel all day
The weather has improved
Something strange has happened
On the street I encountered many people
The children followed the
teacher I immediately noticed the mistake
The class was canceled
Now we come to the sentences
e one you already heard at the beginning of this video
I drove to Berlin
And I took my daughter to school
Why do we use different auxiliary
verbs with the verb fahren
With some motion verbs the
choice of auxiliary verb varies
aving and being
In the first sentence
I went to Berlin
the focus is on the change of location
The person moves from one place to another
o another location
From point A to point B
The verb is intransitive
That is why here perfect is used
formed with the auxiliary verb sein
One more example
I drove to work in the car
In the second sentence
I drove my daughter to school it's
primarily
about an action not a
movement
an activity involving an object
This verb is used transitively
and means to transport
Therefore the perfect tense is used here
formed using the auxiliary verb haben
One more example
I drove the car into the garage
Let's now look at the verb fliegen
It can also be used
with both auxiliary verbs
We flew to England during the holidays
This sentence concerns a change of location
a form of movement
The verb is intransitive
That is why Perfect tense is formed with "sein "
The focus here is on the action on
the activity involving the airplane
which is why the perfect tense is
formed with haben That's all for today
You have learned which verbs form
the perfect tense
with the auxiliary
verb "sein" and why in some cases
both auxiliary verbs are possible
