The past participle (Partizip II)
The past participle (Partizip II) of regular verbs is formed with the prefix ge-, the verb stem and the ending -t.
| infinitive | past participle (Partizip II) |
| spielen | ge-spiel-t |
| kochen | ge-koch-t |
| tanzen | ge-tanz-t |
| lernen | ge-lern-t |
| malen | ge-mal-t |
When the verb stem ends in -d or -t, it takes the ending -et. This is also the case with verbs whose stem ends in a consonant + -m, -n. Exception: When an -r stands before -m or -n, like verbs formen, wärmen, lernen, turnen.
