- 🇩🇪 Did you know German doesn't really have a continuous tense, but there's a clever trick native speakers use to say "I am doing" something? Thomas lets you in on the secret.
- In this episode of Coffee Break German, Thomas explains the different ways German can express ongoing actions, and focuses on the increasingly popular am-progressive.
- Along the way, you'll:
- 🔄 Understand why German doesn't have a direct equivalent to the English '-ing' form
- ✅ Learn how to build the am-progressive with 'sein + am + nominalised infinitive'
- 🗣️ Hear real examples like 'Wir sind gerade am Entspannen'
- 📖 See how this form avoids extra conjugation rules for the present and imperfect
- 💡 Discover the other ways German speakers express continuous actions
- Whether you're just starting out or brushing up on your German, this episode will help you talk about ongoing actions more naturally, and understand this form when you hear it. Viel Spaß! 🇩🇪
