> A comprehensive overview of the four main German verb types—regular, irregular, modal, and auxiliary—including their functions and conjugation patterns.
Understanding German verb types is crucial for mastering grammar. There are four main categories: regular (weak) verbs follow standard endings, irregular (strong) verbs change their stem, modal verbs express necessity or possibility, and auxiliary verbs (haben, sein, werden) help form compound tenses. Each type has unique rules that shape German sentence structure.
