Deutsche Übung 14. – Schwache Verben
Deutsche Übung 14. – Schwache Verben is a German grammar exercise — number 14 of its series — devoted entirely to the schwache Verben, the weak (regular) verbs of German: how they conjugate, how they build the Perfekt, and how to never confuse them with their strong cousins again.
Weak verbs are the well-behaved majority of German: lernen, machen, sagen, hören — they keep their stem, add their endings, and form their Partizip with ge- and -t. One focused exercise set on this single topic does what scattered textbook pages cannot: it makes the pattern automatic.
It is made for German learners at elementary-to-intermediate level, their teachers, and self-learners drilling verb forms systematically.
A single-topic exercise sheet has a particular power: nothing to hide behind, nowhere for the pattern to escape. This fourteenth Übung takes the weak verbs apart completely — the present-tense endings (-e, -st, -t, -en) on an unchanging stem, the spoken-friendly details (the extra -e- in verbs like arbeiten and öffnen, the -s/-ß/-x/-z stems that drop the -s in du-form), and the Perfekt machinery that makes weak verbs the learner’s best friends: ge- + stem + -t, no vowel changes, no exceptions lists to memorise. Exercises drill the forms in the ways memory likes — conjugation tables to complete, sentences to transform between present and past, gap-fills in real contexts, and error-spotting on the classic mix-ups (weak endings hung on strong verbs and the reverse). Because it is exercise 14 of a series, it assumes the earlier groundwork and spends itself entirely on its topic — ideal as lesson material, homework, or revision before a test, and equally useful diagnosed: a student who finishes this sheet cleanly owns the weak verbs; one who doesn’t knows exactly what to repeat.

About This Book
This is a single-topic German grammar exercise (Übung 14) on the schwache Verben — weak/regular verbs: present-tense conjugation on an unchanging stem, the special stem cases, and Perfekt formation with ge-…-t, drilled through tables, transformations and gap-fills.
What Learners Will Practise
The Weak Pattern
Present-tense endings on a stable stem — the regular conjugation that covers the majority of German verbs, practised until it is reflex.
The Details That Trip
Verbs needing the extra -e- (arbeiten, öffnen), stems ending in -s/-ß/-z, and the pronunciation-friendly forms learners mis-write.
Perfekt the Easy Way
Partizip II with ge-…-t and no vowel change — and the classic strong/weak confusions, spotted and corrected.
Key Features
The single-topic focus is the feature — an entire exercise devoted to one verb class. The series position is the second: Übung 14 builds on earlier groundwork and assumes it. The diagnostic clarity is the third: finish it and the weak verbs are proven, not hoped.
Who This Book Is For
It is for elementary-to-intermediate German learners (A1–B1), DaF teachers needing ready verb drills, and self-learners revising verb forms for a test.
How to Use This Book
Work it in one or two sittings — focus is the point. Say every conjugated form aloud; verb endings live in the mouth as much as on the page. Afterwards, hunt weak verbs in any German text for a day: recognition in the wild is the graduation.
