Tiscali: German Phrase Finder - Past tense

Past tense

Here are a number of useful past tenses:

ich war	I was
wir waren	we were
Sie waren	you were (polite)
ich hatte	I had
wir hatten	we had
Sie hatten	you had (polite)

ich/er/sie/es spielte	I/he/she/it played
Sie/wir/sie spielten	you/we/they played

ich/er/sie/es half	I/he/she/it helped
Sie/wir/sie halfen	you/we/they helped

Another past form corresponds to the English have ...ed and uses the verb haben to have:

ich habe gespielt	I have played
wir haben geholfen	we have helped

In German the present tense is very often used where we would use the future tense in English:

ich schicke ein Fax	I will send a fax
ich schreibe einen Brief	I will write a letter
