Hi German learners 😀
In today's lesson, we we learn how to use the verb TO BE in German.
Firstly we need to conjugate this verb:
- Ich (I) bin
- Du (you) bist
- Er/sie/es (he/she/it) ist
- Wir (we) sind
- Ihr (you) seid
- Sie/sie (they) sind
Now we can create some sentences. Note that the verb must come in second place. For example:
- I am always first in class on Mondays
Ich bin immer montags erst in der Klasse
