German verbs may be classified as either ''weak'', with a dental consonant inflection, or ''strong'', showing a vowel gradation (ablaut). Both of these are regular systems. Most verbs of both types are regular, though various subgroups and anomalies do arise. The only completely irregular verb in the language is ''sein'' (''to be''). although, textbooks for learners often class all strong verbs as irregular. There are more than 200 strong and irregular verbs, but there is a gradual tendency for strong verbs to become weak. As German is a Germanic language, the German verb can be understood historically as a development of the Germanic verb. == Simple infinitives == The infinitive consists of the root and the suffix ''-en''. With verbs whose roots end in ''el'' or ''er'', the ''e'' of the infinitive suffix is dropped. :''laufen'' ("to run") :''lächeln'' ("to smile") :''meistern'' ("to master") 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「German verbs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
