How do I learn verbs with prepositions or fixed patterns?

Some verb patterns are difficult because the translation does not show how the German phrase is built. Learners often need to remember the pattern as a unit.

Where to start

• Search the verb in Browse.
• Open Examples from the lookup menu to inspect sentence usage.
• Open Note and Tags from the word menu.
• Write a personal note for the pattern you want to remember.
• Ask Chat about the grammar if you are unsure how the pattern works.

Good to know

Tags are useful for grouping patterns. A tag can later be searched directly from the search bar using the hash symbol.
