Unregelmaßig Verben also know as Irregular verbs. This is a simple view into irregular verbs and what they are and how they work. --Ben J.

Irregular Verbs: Irregular verbs are verbs within many different languages but within German they are known as strong verbs. The reason they are known as irregular verbs, though, is because the stem changes when you conjugate it and it often times changes unpredictably and often. They tend to change for the past but rarely for the present. When they change into different tenses they are very unpredictable and often change entirely. Like Essen changes to Aß

Arbeiten Ich: Arbeite Du: Arbeitest Er sie es: Arbeite Wir: Arbeiten Ihn: Arbeitet Sie: Arbeiten

In this the verb base stay the same, while with irregular verbs the entire base will change. This is were they get their name for being irregular verbs, as they conjugate differently. These are the irregular verbs that you find in many different languages. Here are some examples of irregular verbs: Essen Ich: Esse Du: isst Er sie es: isst Wir: Essen Ihn: Esset Sie: Essen

Like this irregulars change their base when they are in Du and Er/sie/es the base changes in some ways but they are easy to learn becuase all you have to do is learn them: Here are some irregular verbs:


 * 1) Essen
 * 2) Kennen
 * 3) Können
 * 4) Haben
 * 5) Bringen
 * 6) Müssen
 * 7) Dürfen
 * 8) Wollen

Each of these are irregular, but these are not all of them there are many more but these are some of the ones you will use most often. For irregular verbs one must only know what they are and how to change them because there are not that many. And the less of them there are, the easier it is to remember them. Also one must remember that the stem changes are very unpredictable.
