                                     German Verbs   Verb Categoris Each German verb belongs to one of three groups:  weak verbs ,  strong verbs , or  mixed verbs . The differences between these categories are prinicipally noticeable in the formation of the simple past and perfect tenses. Unless a verb is in one of these tenses or unless you look up its forms, a verb's class will not be apparent.
