The Verb Sein
While, Verbs are words describing actions and states, and “sein” is the most important one!
So, Here you’ll learn your first German verb, “sein” (to be), to say how someone is feeling.
While, In German grammar, there are three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter . People and things have a fixed gender. Meanwhile, We refer to them by “er” (he, masculine), “sie” (she, feminine) or “es” (it, neuter).
Here you’ll learn to say how a group of people feel. While, you will fully learn the most important verb in German, “sein” (to be).
Bereit? Los geht’s! (Ready? Let’s go!)
| Ich bin müde. (I’m tired.) |
| Du bist krank. (You are ill.) |
| Er / Sie / Es ist im Stress. (He / She / It is stressed.) |
| Wir sind gut drauf. (We are in a good mood.) |
| Ihr seid gesund. (You are healthy.) |
| Sie sind glücklich. (They are happy.) |
So, That’s your first verb done.
While, You can notice in the table, Each pronoun has a particular verb form that goes with it. As ich goes with bin and du goes with bist and so on….
Meanwhile, “Sie” (they) and “wir” (we) both take “sind“. Meanwhile, You have learnt the Personal Pronoun & Regular Verb Conjugation in previous lesson.

Meanwhile, “Haben” (to have) comes up in many fixed expressions like:
Ich habe Hunger. (Literally: I have hunger.)
Ich habe Durst. (Literally: I have thirst.)
Ich habe Lust auf… (Literally: I have a craving for…)
While, Knowing these expressions is the key to speaking like a native!
“Haben” has the same endings as regular verbs (e.g. “kommen”).
What makes it an irregular verb is that the du form and the er/sie/es form lack a “b“!
| Pronoun | kommen | haben |
| ich | komme | habe |
| du | kommst | hast |
| er/sie/es | kommt | hat |
| wir | kommen | haben |
| ihr | kommt | habt |
| Sie/sie | kommen | haben |
“Wir” and “sie” (plural) both take “haben“.

Ich habe Hunger. Habt ihr auch Hunger? (I’m hungry. Are you all hungry too?)
