The German imperative -> separable prefix-verbs
posted 9 months ago
Last but not least I want to talk about separable prefix verbs and how the imperative works for them. Wait… what?? ;)
Many verbs with prefixes are separable i.e. you can… no you sometimes have to rip the verb stem off the prefix in order to form a nice verb conjugation. Sounds difficult but it isn’t.
Example: aufstehen = (to) get up
du-imperative: Steh auf!
Sie-imperative: Stehen Sie auf!
ihr-imperative: Steht auf!
As you can see, the prefix is now at the end of the command! :)
