German Verbs List PDF: The Verbs Beginners Should Learn First

The beginner-friendly way to study common German verbs from a printable list.

Verbs make the sentence move

A German verb list is useful because verbs let you build actions: I have, I go, I need, I see, I learn.

A bare verb list is not enough. Put each verb into a short sentence as soon as possible.

Use three small sentence frames

You do not need a full grammar table to begin. Start with repeatable frames.

  • Ich ... for simple statements.
  • Du ...? for short questions.
  • Wir ... for shared actions.

Download and mark the verbs you see often

Print the verbs list and mark the verbs that appear in your reading. Frequency becomes easier to feel when the same verbs return in real sentences.
