Servus Inap! Ich möchte dich was fragen. I mean must we use 'das Perfekt' for actions in the past. Don't we have past simple in German to use for past actions? I hope I explained well. Would it be possible for you to clear up my confusion? Herzliche Grüße.
Servus Yigitcan, Yes, there is simple past tense in German. But in the spoken language they mostly use the perfect tense while taking about the past. Simple past tense is used mostly in the newspaper articles and official/formal documents. So, one may read an article in the past tense, but while speaking about the same article he/she automatically uses the perfect tense. Interesting, isn't it? It's just a matter of getting used to the perfect tense. Once you are used to it, it will come just naturally :) LG
@@DeutschmitInap Hmm. So for while I am writing mail to someone or speaking to someone, I should use das Perfekt. Ich :Ich habe die Pizza gegessen. Meine Freundin: Lecker! Anyway, but if Germans mostly use das Perfekt for talking about past actions, which tense they use in the present perfect sentences like , for example, 'I have been living in Berlin for 2 months.'?
To say that, they just use the normal simple present tense. " Ich wohne seit zwei Monaten in Berlin". Basically, the most important tenses used in German are simple present tense and the perfect tense. Simple present tense can cover many tenses in English, for eg. Simple present, present continuous, simple future, present future. Likewise the perfect tense can cover many other tenses in the past form.
Nope :). Every language is so unique and beautiful in it's own way, isn't it? I like the fact about German that one doesn't need so many tenses like in English :)
Hallo einmal Inap Ich möchte dich was fragen. While I was studying das Perfekt, I saw following structure Ich habe/er hat... gehabt=ich/er _hatte_ What does that mean? I would be grateful if you could clear up my confusion. Bis bald!
Ich hatte = I had Ich habe gehabt = I have had Mostly for the verbs "haben" and "sein", the simple past tense is used rather than the perfect tense. However, while deliberately saying "I have had" or "I have been" the perfect tense is used which will be in German " Ich habe ..... gehabt" and " Ich bin ..... gewesen". Hope I explained it well :)
@@DeutschmitInap Hmm so firstly while talking about the past, I should use _das Perfekt_ with verbs (except _sein_und _haben _) Instead of using _das Perfekt_ for past actions with _sein_ and _haben _ , I must use 'hatte' or I don't known the one for 'sein' :) However, is my conclusion from your answer is true?
Yes, that sounds right to me. Also there are some other verbs where it is preferred to use the simple past tense instead of the perfect. For Modalverben too, the simple past tense is used. I have a video on that (A2- Lektion 7). Past tense of "sein" is "A1- Lesson 56".
@@DeutschmitInap Hmm I want to ask you something about _das Perfekt_. I am trying to learn it. But literally everybody says different thing about it 😅 I mean is it used for _past events_ or in _ present perfect sense_ in English or both of them? I really appreciate it.
super dank !!!!

You could think like this, at least that's how I used to think. "Das Perfekt" is the German past tense for most of the situations :)
Forhes neues jahr liebe lehrer
Frohes neues Jahr lieber Bhuwan :)

Thanks Mann

Kommen is not irregular. Its a regular verb. So how come gekommen is in unregalmassige list
It's one of those mixed ones. Regular in the present tense, but irregular in the past and perfect tense.
