larry 0 #1 September 22, 2007 Any German speakers here? What is wrong with this sentence? Ich (Verb) Fallschirm springen gern, aber das habe ich auch nicht getan für ein paar Jahren. I thought springen was the verb... but he is looking for me to add another where indicated. Maybe gehen. I go skydiving? Ich gehe Fallschirm springen gern? Never take a german class online! thanks for any help!“Now click your heels together 3 times so you can return to Kansas to live in poverty with your teetotaling, dirt farming aunt and uncle!” paraphrased Prof. Farnsworth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

larry 0 #3 September 22, 2007 The instuctor says I'm missing a verb where he wrote (verb). like maybe go skydiving or something. like we say in english "take" a shit germans say "make" a shit we say "go" skydiving do they "go" skydiving or "make" a parachute jump or what not? anybody know what i mean? it's probably "go" “Now click your heels together 3 times so you can return to Kansas to live in poverty with your teetotaling, dirt farming aunt and uncle!” paraphrased Prof. Farnsworth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprilcat 0 #4 September 22, 2007 'gehen' works...but I'm not sure its the precise tense you want. Is this for school or conversation?~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monkycndo 0 #8 September 22, 2007 It has been a very long time since I took a Deutsch class. But when you have a separable prefix verb, the verb is always at the end of the sentance. Subject, verb, predicate, prefix. But what do I know, it's been almost 20 yers since I spoke the language. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.
