- How to use WERDEN - as an action verb, in the passive, future tense and more.
In Week 10 of Bausteine zwei, the focus in "Wörter im Rampenlicht" is on WERDEN - how to use it as an action verb, for predictions and prognoses, the subjunctive (hypothetical and conditional), and the passive.
This video is part of HEG102 Introduction to German at the University of Tasmania. We use Bausteine zwei as our textbook

I've been learning German on and off for about 15 years and I was almost about to give up, I don't know if you can relate, i thought I was getting somewhere then I watched a German movie on Netflix with no subtitles and understood basically nothing apart from a few words, then I found Billy now I'm back at it, vielen dank Billy
I think - no matter what it is that we try to learn - there are always ups and downs and then those frustrating plateaus. Sometimes we just need to do something different to kickstart the next improvement. I’m glad the videos are helping! Alles Gute BB
I've been learning German everyday for 20 months now and werden is still the most elusive verb for me. When reading or listening I immediately understand or have a sense/feel of what the speaker or writer is trying to convey but as a native English speaker attempting to use it naturally in conversation is still quite challenging. This video is fantastic. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment! Yes, it can be an elusive verb- the main thing to do is to see whether it is being used with another verb or not (as an auxiliary). If it isn‘t, then it won’t be communicating a change. If it is used with another verb it will probably be a future tense or (if the other verb is the participle) the passive. Alles Gute BB
Excellent.
Thank you!!
Guten morgen aus Mexiko und vielen danken für die toll Unterricht!
Grüß Gott! Es freut mich, dass es geholfen hat! Alles Gute nach Mexiko!
Thanks again for this video. I struggle to confidently understand all the uses of Werden. I can use it / understand it for the passive…Mein Auto wird repariert…..und Morgen wird er 15 Jahre alt….but I don’t know/understand when to use “geworden“…Future is easy enough….Er wird ein Buch lesen….Your video will give me hope to continue studying this useful verb-einmal!
You're very welcome! Geworden is just the past participle of werden. Ich werde müde (im becoming tired) vs Ich bin müde geworden (I became tired). I hope that makes sense. Alles Gute BB
@@bausteine Is geworden always used with the sein helping verb?
Yes, that’s right. Werden just works like sein (ist gewesen) or bleiben (ist geblieben) in the past tense. So if you see geworden you’ll generally be thinking about a change/development that happened in the past
Geworden is the past participle of werden (as Bausteine already said), but (to complicate things): only after an adjective or noun. "Er ist im Sommer braun geworden" (He got a tan in the summer) or "Sie ist Ärztin geworden" oder "Er ist gestern 15 Jahre alt geworden".
After a verb (so in all passive sentences), it's not _geworden_ but _worden_ instead. "Mein Auto ist repariert worden."
Exactly right. A very good point. This gets mentioned in the video at around 08:15.
