Talking about your weekend
Was hast du am Wochenende gemacht?
Tell a short story about a completed day using Perfekt with haben and time expressions.
In conversation, use Perfekt to report completed events: Ich habe am Samstag gearbeitet. The conjugated form of haben takes position two; the participle comes at the end. Regular verbs usually form ge- + stem + -t: machen → gemacht. Verbs ending in -ieren do not add ge-: telefonieren → telefoniert. A time phrase can come first: Danach habe ich gekocht. The verb stays in second position; ich follows it.

Danach habe ich das Abendessen gekocht.
After that, I cooked dinner.
Ich habe mit meiner Schwester telefoniert.
