ABSTRACT
Do you sometimes find it difficult to decide which German tense to use? You're not the only one. In today's chapter we will look at two things to make you more confident in choosing the right tense and using it correctly: when to use which tense; and how to construct the correct verb forms. Obviously there is a lot more that can be said about the tense system, but we feel that we can boil it down to a few simple tips which will provide you with a good basis for constructing sentences. Therefore we are not going to look at every possible tense but at the ones you are most likely to come across and use yourself
