Introduction
Einführung
This is the most common verb tense. The present tense is used to express:
• actions currently happening,
• actions happening in the near future,
• general truths,
• and habitual actions.
Because English so often uses helping verbs such as "am" and "do", the German present tense can be seen as simpler.
For example, the phrase Er geht (third-person present) can be translated as:
He goes.
He is going.
He does go.
• actions currently happening,
• actions happening in the near future,
• general truths,
• and habitual actions.
Because English so often uses helping verbs such as "am" and "do", the German present tense can be seen as simpler.
For example, the phrase Er geht (third-person present) can be translated as:
He goes.
He is going.
