 * Trennbare Verben im Präsenz: (Separable Verbs in the Present)

The Prefixes:**

These prefixes are applied before the verb which makes it become a separable verb.

(Present Tense) An easy example to show what I am talking about is the prefix "aus" which means out or from. When applied to the verb "gehen", which means to go, the verb then gets the meaning of "to go out". However, the verb "bereiten" means to prepare, but in the example above, the prefix "vor", which means before is applied as well.
 * **Prefix** || **Meaning** || **Examples** ||
 * ab || From || abnehmen (Reduce) ||
 * an || at, to || anfangen (Start) ||
 * auf || on, out, up || aufgeben (give up) ||
 * aus || out, from || ausgehen (Go Out) ||
 * vor || Before || vorbereiten (Prepare) ||
 * zussamen || together || zussamenfassen (Summarize) ||
 * ein || In || einsteigen (Get In) ||
 * weg || Away || weglaufen (Run Away) ||
 * nach || After || nachholen (Make Up) ||
 * mit || With || mitbringen (Bring with) ||

When using a separable verb in a sentence such as "I go out", the prefix gets moved to the end of the sentence, and the verb stays where it is, so the sentence in German would be "Ich gehe aus."

(Past Tense) The same rule applies for the past participle, except the prefix gets put before the verb, and the verb get's changed into past tense. So the sentence would now be "Ich habe aus gegehen.
