Separable Verbs
A lot of verbs can be combined with prefixes to form new verbs with different meanings.
1. Some prefixes can be separable. These prefixes take the main stress when spoken.
➢ They get separated from the verb and come at the end of the sentence.
Example: Ich stehe um 8 Uhr auf.
➢ In the perfect tense the ge-comes between the prefix and the verb stem.
Example: Ich bin spät angekommen.
➢ In Infinitiv phrases, the zu is inserted between the verb and prefix to form one
word.
▪ Example: Vergiss bitte nicht, die Tür abzuschlieβen.
2. Some prefixes are inseparable and cannot stand alone. They are not stressed when
spoken. Be+kommen = bekommen (to receive/get)
3. Some prefixes are not always separable. In some verbs they are separable, in others
inseparable. The following prefixes can be sometimes separable.
