ALL the imperfect German verbs? That would require a dictionary! Das Imperfekt fits into two categories: weak and strong. Strong verbs such as fahren and lesen have special forms. Fahren becomes fuhren and lesen becomes lasen for example. Weak verbs such as machen and kaufen simply add -t to the end of the stem. Thus machen becomes machten and kaufen becomes kauften.

A strong verb is strong enough to break the pattern of normal conjugation. That means that there is a vowel change in the du and er/sie forms. Ich lese but du liest, er liest.

A weak verb is too weak to break the pattern of normal conjugation. That means that there is NO vowel change in the du and er/sie forms. Ich mache, du machst, er macht.

What are two steps you take in conjugating a verb?

There are three types of regular verbs: -er, -ir, and -re For an -er verb such as aimer (to like/love) you begin to conjugate the verb by removing the ending , -er, and leaving just the stem of the verb, aim. Regular -er verb endings are: -e, -es, -e, -ons, -ez, -ent. Depending on the subject you are conjugating for determines which ending is to be used. For other regular verbs you do the same process of detaching the endig from the stem and adding the respective ending. -ir verb endings are: -is, -is, -it, -issons, -issez, -issent. -re verb endings are: -s, -s,-(no ending), -ons, -ez, -ent.
