Perfekt Review & Irregular Participles
Talk about past experiences with stronger, more natural Perfekt forms.
A1 introduced the Perfekt with haben and sein. In this A2 chapter, you review the sentence pattern and learn the participles that learners meet constantly: irregular participles, separable verbs, and inseparable verbs without ge-. You will practise telling short stories about weekends, travel, courses, and real experiences.
