Grammar Notes[]

Y'all's[]

When you're referring to people using ihr, the version of your to use is euer. It works just like other possessives we've seen so far, except that the e disappears whenever anything comes after the r:

  • Das ist euer Essen. = This is your food.
  • Wir holen eure Kinder ab. = We're picking up your kids. (not euere)

Making your work easier[]

With verbs stems - the part without the -en or -n - that end in t or d, add an extra e between the stem and the ending. This is just because words like findt and arbeitst are otherwise really hard to say!
