Notes:
1. If a verb is listed here, then all verbs derived from it by the addition of a different prefix will be conjugated
the same way: if you know that the forms of fallen are er/sie/es fällt, ist gefallen ==> you know that the forms
of auffallen are er/sie/es fällt auf, ist aufgefallen.
2a. If a verb is not listed here [and Note (1) above does not apply] and you see it on Test 3, you can assume
it's a weak verb, with a -t ending in the past participle, and no stem-change in the present tense (remember
that if it's a verb ending in -ieren, its past participle won't have a "ge"): lachen ==> er/sie/es lacht, hat gelacht.
2b. More generally, you should start periodically reading through the list of irregular verbs on pp. 494-6 of
Vorsprung. In the future, if you encounter a new verb and you don't recognize it from this list, you can
usually assume it's a weak (regular) verb with -t endings.
2c. Modal verbs are not listed here! For these, use konnte, sollte, wollte, musste, durfte, mochte etc.: Ich
konnte nicht fahren, du durftest singen, wir wollten tanzen. Use wollte for the past of wollen AND möchten!
3. All the verb forms listed below are third person singular, i.e. the er/sie/es form of the verb.
4. Conversational Past forms in italics on this page are strong verbs whose past participle has no vowel
change or other irregularity, other than the strong -en ending. These are all in the first five groups below.
Note how many of them have stem-changes in the present tense!
5. Mixed verbs (-t endings in Conversational Past, but still irregular) are at the end of the list, all in italics.
