Question 1: Deducing the Regular German Past Participle - Part 1

• Start with the infinitive of the verb, which almost always ends with -en. Take this ending off.

• You will be left with the verb stem. For example, the verb stem of "machen" is "mach".

• Add ge- before the stem and -t after it. So the past participle of "wohnen" looks like this: ge|wohn|t  --> gewohnt

• This is the basic formula: ge + verb stem + t 

• NOTE: Verb stems that end in t or d require an -et to be placed on the end. The formula is amended to

ge + verb stem + et. For instance, reden (to talk) becomes geredet.
