What happens at 12 o clock in a German school and what happens after lunch in a German school?
I think that might be different in every Bundesland (state) since school does not begin everywhere at the same time. But where I come from we have our first " big break" how we would call it, at 9.35 to 9.50. Then again 2 lessons with a small break of 5 minutes and from 11.25 to 11.40 another break. But after the sixth lesson it depends on what the teacher and the students agree on whether to have another 15 minutes break or only have 5 minute break. So you cannot really call it "lunchtime" because most of the schools do not even have a cafeteria where you could buy a lunch. And I´m not sure whether 15 minutes are enough time to feed 1200students. But we have a bakery and our "Butterbrote" our moms made for us^^.

What are the German verb endings?
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.
