Key learning points
- The past participles of '-ieren' verbs don't start with 'ge-'. They end with '-iert'.
- Use adverbs like 'nie', 'schon', and 'noch nicht' with the perfect tense to provide more information.
- Many '-ieren' verbs are near cognates.
Keywords
-ieren verbs - verbs which end in ‘ieren’; for example, 'fotografieren', 'studieren'
Time adverbials - adverbs or adverbial phrases which denote time; for example, 'nie', 'schon', 'noch nicht'
Common misconception
Past participles of -ieren verbs start with 'ge-' like most other past participles.
Unlike most other past participles, most German -'ieren' verbs act like some other weak German verbs, meaning that they do not have 'ge' at the beginning of their participles (for example, verbs beginning with 'be', 'er', and 'ver').
